As most of you know, I HATE COLLEGE.
I think about May 9 possibly at least once every minute of every day! I dream of being able to get up 5 days a week and go to work. I know some of you are thinking that I have lost my mind and have no idea what I am thinking, but really I am tired of reading about things I have interest in then having to write about them like I care. I am sick of art projects that have nothing to do with advertising or graphic design, in other words, painting. I am over it. I would probably not feel this way had my class been any time other that 8 in the morning. I cannot wait to take pictures after I graduate with my Momma, my Creeddaddy, Chazz, RD and my Mamaw and my Nannie! Those are the ones that kept telling me to keep going when I wanted to drop out of college and forget that Tuscaloosa even existed (except for football season!). Then I look at how things are currently in our great nation. Had I been an excellent student and took 21 hours a semester, I would have a job right now. However, I did not take 21 hours a semester. I mostly took 12 to 15. I am graduating a year behind what society thinks you should graduate (4 years). However, current trends show that the average college student, that does not take a break, graduates one semester to one year behind the expected schedule (just so you will know). I am average. Go me. Anyways... currently, the economy sucks. Sorry. There is not other way to say it. No one is hiring where I have dreamed of working. No one has a job posting for what I have dreamed of doing as my profession. Unless, I move away. NOT AN OPTION! There is no way. So what to do... I have been contemplating the thought of graduate school at UA for Advertising. This would mean a Master's Degree and a huge portfolio and jammin' resume. This also means 2 more years of college. Eww. Good and bad, all at once. Also, there is the thought of ditching advertising all together when I graduate and find a career doing something else. Anything that is hiring pretty much.
I have so much to complete before May. Assignment, side jobs, work and decisions alike, there is a lot on my plate! I have not mentioned this idea to anyone yet, until now. However, I did tell RD I wanted to be a pharmacist. He laughed really hard and said go for it. We all know that won't happen. No way. Way to much school and not enough brain power :)
oh what to do...

For a minute I thought you blasphemed Tuscaloosa (good save w/ football season though). There is the option of being a vanguard/self-employed business person--an entrepreneur.
I have a friend in pharmacy school. The bad thing about pharmacy school...you have to go to Auburn for three to four years.:(
I deff. think that if advertising is your dream career...then you should stick with that. Hopefully, the economy will get better and you can just work where ever and stay in prayer, and God will provide an amazing job, I'm sure. I think that if you can find it in you, deff. get your masters, just because that would be amazing! Good luck, and try not to stress over it too much :)
