Gettin In Shape

I did not realize how much work has to be put in for a fitness routine. I never worried about that until college. That's when I started putting on pounds. I gained about 20 pounds!!! I can't believe it but I have been staying at 150 since I have been in college. I'm not gaining or losing. I took this fitness training class so I could learn how to work the machines. In order to do that you really have to know your body parts. It's good class for anyone who wants to learn about their nutrition and how to use weights. I have definitely had more energy since I've been taking the class. You are what you eat but you are also what DNA says you are. If obesity runs in your family chances are you will be that way. Looking at me, I don't look big because my proportions are balanced but once I get on the scale it's a different story. I eat healthy too but I do not do enough cardio. I am definitely stepping it up. I have to do cardio everyday.

The direction of my career.....

Why can't I seem to focus right now? I just want to be done with college right now and go straight into my dream job. I know that is not reality though. I was looking at a friend of mines college yearbook. He graduated in 2004 and wanted to go into radio. He dose something totally opposite. I want to be a journalist but is it gonna be that difficult for me to get the job I want? I'm sure he likes his job but I'm also sure that he never thought he would be in the profession that he is in. I just want to be able to use my degree in Mass Communication. I have a lot to offer but I hope my employer can see that. I am starting to notice that the smartest thing for me to do is to create my own business or join a new one. It's nice to say that you did something on your own or you contributed to the foundation of something new, that nobody thought of before. I like to be original but I feel like most of my classes are not letting me do that. I like to write what's on my mind, something I know, not info from a book. That is what is making me stuck right now. I could have turned in my paper on time yesterday but I do not want a C on my paper I want an A. I just realized it's not that I'm not focused, its that I don't want to do what the class requires me to do. This paper is definitely going to be an A.

Being a Journalist

I know I have a lot to learn when it comes to writing but it feels best when it comes strait from the heart. I hate to copy facts because it feels like it's not me but it's part of the game. I am good at giving and getting information. I love to see my work inspire people. I did not realize I could write really well until my English teacher in high school asked my mother to come in to talk about my work. I really thought I was in trouble but I could not figure out why. She told my mother that I had unbelievable skills and that I was more advanced in writing than all the students in my class. It's sad that my mother had too much going on in her life to help me advance my writing skills. I guess the middle child gets overlooked automatically. As the years went on I stopped writing as much. When I got to college I picked back up on my writing because it was the only thing that calmed me when I was stressed or excited. I'm not much of a talker but I sure can write. Sometimes a little bit too much. I love to write feature stories because it helps me get to know people individually. When I was interning with Exposed Expressions I did various sales pitches and feature articles for up and coming artist. That was so fun because I got to be creative. If anyone ever has a story or wants to share their story let me know.
