Happy October! It’s spooky season now and things in my life are finally starting to settle into a groove. I like where I’m at in life and I’m ready to really start the college & career grind. I think no small part of this was due to finally having the freedom to take tangible steps towards my end goal of actually working in the film industry and eventually being financially free. What I have right now isn’t much but I’m hoping that by getting started now I’ll save myself some headache later down the road.
This past month I finally got off my ass and did the following adult things:
Set up a savings account in my own name
Started investing money with Acorns
Applied for a credit card (waiting for a snail mail response, I’m pretty sure I’ll get approved though…)
Created a real resume with actual work experience and education
Built a proper portfolio website
Switched cellphone carriers to Google Fi, and have my plan in my own name
Registered on Upwork, Indeed, and Handshake for freelance jobs & internships
Started the process to fix my major status (it got screwed up at admissions, so now I have to fix it)
Started running regularly
This is a really weird first blog post. I’m going to go to class.
