This is all new to me, except the whole honesty thing.

I've never done this before... writing a blog that is. I've never really even thought about it. I thought it was just something that people did in the movies, I think. (more specifically Julie and Julia) I never even really pictured my self doing something like this.
I guess I should start with some sort of introduction. I am a 22 year old college student, with two part time jobs. I am currently majoring in something, but all you really need to know is that my goal is to own my own wedding photography business. I aspire to capture the celebration and emotion of two people showing the world their own unique love in their own unique way....and charge them for it.
I have discovered in my meager 22 years of life that picking a major is a odd thing to do. I went through high school caring about varies things: boys, homework, fitting in, partying, acting out ect. Then I got to college and they said "Pick exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life, right now." Are you kidding me? I would have been giving it some thought along the way if I had known this was coming!

My explorations took me through every department at school. I started as a film major, I thought making movies sounded like fun. I woke up early, brushed my hair, picked out my outfit, got ready for class like I was getting ready for my new life as a director. Everything had to be just-so for my new life. I needed to look right and all my dreams would come true. Took my first step into introduction to film like I was walking onto a set.
 I surveyed the room, excited and ready for my new life... and this is when reality hit me. Looking around I saw a community college classroom full of slimy thirty somethings. Their faces covered with pock marks and untrimmed beards, each movie buff hoping for the same thing: an opportunity to defend their beloved unknown crappy directors to the death.
I didn't belong here. And I knew it as soon as I walked in the door. I loved the material, because I love movies, but I wasn't about to fool myself into thinking I could be a director in Hollywood, when in reality I would probably end up just being a set of hands to hold lighting or something.
