When I Follow my Passions, my Purpose is Revealed

When I Follow my Passions, my Purpose is Revealed

This past weekend I worked for a social media tour called pressplay, something that I’ve done multiple times before. If you want to learn more about it, you can watch this video.

Working on multiple social media tours has helped to mold my perspective on life and society over the past few years. My work through the internet has introduced me to a hidden culture of millennials that are driven to create a life that they love. They have no desire to waste their talents and know they want more than what a desk 9 to 5 job has to offer them. I've been fortunate enough to work for multiple apps and tours that has introduced me to some of my greatest friends from all across the world.

Content creators on the internet share their talents and passions through various social media platforms such as youtube and vine. For example, Shawn Mendes, an award winning singer/musician most known for his hit song “Stitches” started his fame creating 6 second covers on vine, a social media app. He gained a fan base and is now selling out venues across the world. For him and thousands of others the internet has opened doors that otherwise wouldn’t have been accessible for him.

Forming strong friendships with content creators have taught me an important lesson: when you follow your passions your purpose in life will be reveled and you’ll no longer find yourself saying “I wish I knew what I was doing with my life.”

Life is meant to be lived, not endured. You need to find the courage to do what makes you happy no matter what anyone else has to say about it. Criticism and judgment are all apart of the process but people will always find something to say regardless. Whether your passion is big or small never give up on your day dream, you never know where life will take you. Live what you love.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
