Ever since I was a little girl I remember waking up on Saturday mornings, and instead of watching cartoons like any other child, I was sitting around the television with my mom, dad, and two brothers watching whatever home improvement show was on HGTV. Among many, our favorites were: Bath Crashers, Yard Crashers, Property Brothers and Love It Or List It.

When I was around 12 or 13 I had my mind strongly set on going to college to become an Interior Designer. I had a good eye for color, pattern, coordination, and thought I could renovate any room with the right tools thanks to HGTV.

I had dreams of all the houses I would get to design, and the celebrities that would contact me by name to work on their houses.

But shortly after entering college I learned this dream was not what I wanted anymore.

I had chosen to attend Central Michigan University because they offered one of the best Interior Design programs in Michigan.

My first semester, freshman year of college, I was enrolled in an Interior Design Drafting class, and Drawing 101. While I had enjoyed most of what the courses had offered, it was not what I saw myself doing 10-20 years in the future.

So there I was my second semester of college, with absolutely no clue what my major was going to be, and what my future would hold.

I then found myself as one of those students trying to find out where they would soon belong in the real-world, and I have to say it was one of the scariest feelings I have ever felt.

Thankfully I've always had a passion and interest for magazines and pop culture. Scanning every magazine cover as I got into the checkout line at the grocery store to see what the latest scandal in Hollywood was, to dedicating every weekday night from 7-8 P.M. to watching E! News to get the inside scoop on my favorite celebrities.

Next thing I know I'm signed up for a couple of Journalism classes and exploring whether this is really where I would see myself in the future. And let me say thank the Lord it was!

I was also lucky enough to attend a school that has an EXCELLENT Journalism program.

While I was never the kid that enjoyed writing stories in their free time, I knew that if it was a topic I was passionate about the possibilities in my writing potential was endless.

I now have dreams about one day working for a magazine as an editor, or working for my favorite Entertainment Network, E! News.

I was once so determined to become an Interior Designer, I almost lost sight of what I really should be doing, in hopes of not being lost. But now I feel more found than ever.
