Who am I? Well, I’ll tell you. I talk about myself, what I like and my plans for the future

So. Year one (of either two or three) is done. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys have no idea who I am or what I do, do you? Well, that is, unless you read my other blog, Kill Jill Goes To College. For those who don’t (naughty, naughty), I’ll give you a few points of interest.
I’ll talk more about my college life a little later on. But for right now, I’ll tell you the basics. I decided to take Journalism at College X because I’ve always been a writer. As long as I can remember, writing was just that something that came easily for me. I used to write a lot of fiction but decided to give non-fiction a try. Turns out, that came easily to me as well. I love comedy writing and writing about music and pop culture.
And College X just seemed like a good option because it wasn’t in my crime-ridden provincial capital city, the tuition was a little lower than at most universities and City X itself seemed like a good option. And I was right. I love it there and plan to move there after I’m done my Journalism program.
As a part of my Journalism program, I did a four-week internship at a newspaper office. And guess what. I didn’t like it. I don’t want to work for a newspaper. It’s far too stressful and I like knowing that I can go home at 5pm. And I know I should have to work my way up until I can write about what I want to write about… but I’m far too impatient for that.
So, I’m thinking I’ll take a Multimedia course after I’m done with Journalism so I’m more prepared when the inevitable happens: newspapers become obsolete and online news sources and blogs rule the world.
When that happens, I’ll be ready.
