I'm blogging?!

             Blogging...little bits of my brain I'm laying out for anyone to see. It's strange and incredibly uncomfortable to think about, but hey, it might be fun.  I decided to blog for three reasons: the first being Oprah, the second being I'm leaving the country soon and it's an easy way for friends and family to know what's going on with me, and the third being it will look good if I ever get into social media marketing. Gotta think ahead! It might even have an added bonus if this counts as my journal requirement for the study abroad program. Let's hope it does.
            Now let's get Oprah out of the way cause I'm sure you're thinking, "Of course it has to do with Oprah. Everything has to do with Oprah." Maybe not, maybe I'm just thinking that, but there's a 75% chance you at least rolled your eyes when you read that. Anyway...so I stumbled upon an episode of Oprah around 11 at night and it was all about people who are doing the things they love to do and making money doing it. People who are basically living the American dream. They smiled, laughed, cried over being on Oprah, the usual - but they also all gave one bit of advice, "Find your passion and go for it." We've heard it all before, the people who escape the  dreaded cubicle just because they had a dream and never stopped going for it. But what if you have no dream? What if you don't know what your passion is? What do you do then?
           Being one of those unfortunate lost souls, I decided to do the practical thing, as I always do, and go for something I'm good at. Study something that I found at least interesting. I went into marketing. I like seeing the strategy behind a sale. I like seeing how one sucks in the consumer. Do I love it? I don't know yet.
           So this blog is my leap, my brainstorm session, and my public journal. It's my journey for success in the little things and the grand scheme that is my life. Cause one thing's for sure. I'm goin' places, whether it be New York next week, Budapest two weeks after that, or an amazing-soul-sucking-gratifying-(insert adjective) career years from now. I'm goin' places...I just don't know where. Let the wandering begin!
