So a couple of days ago, I had one of my quarterlife crisis moments. I was really down and out about the future. I just didn't know if I wanted to be a reporter anymore. I don't think I can live and breathe news. I really wanted to be a broadcast reporter so that I could melt in my grandma's wish for me to be on television with something slightly academic, but now I think it's just not for me. I wanted something that was a little more creative and not something that could drive me insane because I got burnt out. So I decided to go into advertising. I'm thinking seriously about becoming a copywriter. You know, those people who write what is being said in commercials, pamphlets and brochures, and other other things you might find when it comes to products. I'm also going to learn more about creating websites and graphic design. Bottom line, I just need more creativity in my life. Sure, there are going to be shitty moments and what not, but I think I can live with it. I've been looking at some advert agencies such as Metropolitan Republic (South Africa), Taxi (Toronto), Nake (New York), and Crispin Porter and Bogusky (Miami), and I think I could live with working at a firm like one of these. I'm still going to keep journalism as my major, I'm just going to focus more on the PR and take marketing classes.

So I finished my PSA, and out of the 40+ commercials that were created mines was one of the highest rated. If you want to check it out, here it is.

Two crappy video programs and a few hours of frustration later, I completed it. And I got candy for being one of the highest rated. Yay me!
