The way it is...

I can't help but to overhear my roommate talk to his sister on the phone. It sounds like he's under lots of stress for the same reasons I usually am. The whole "what am I going to do with my future" thing. He's pop culture major, and I'm trying to get a degree in some kind of art or writing. The thing is with our majors, people will always expect us to be poor and starving in the real world. And for the most part, they're right.

Last night I got scared thinking about what lies in my future. I mean, I got freaked about how I am going to make a living doing what I love. It seems to me that if you wanna do what you love as work, the sacrifice is money. Of course, that property has been defied by people like James Horner and Steven Spielberg and Hayao Miyazaki.

But really, it all comes down to focusing on my work, finding a purpose for it, and making it sellable. I really hope I can make things happen and not starve my family for it...
