Here's to the start!

Eavesdropping is one of my favorite activities. Whether you strongly disapprove of this practice or not, there's really no way to avoid it--my ears hear whether I tell them to or not. While I was sitting in my J101 class in one of the largest lecture halls on campus I overheard a very amusing conversation next to me.
Boy 1: "Dude, what major are you?"
Boy 2: "Journalism...I'm pretty sure everyone in here is."
Boy 1: "Oh wow...yeah you're right."
The funny thing is, that hadn't really hit me yet either until he mentioned it. Looking around, I noticed there was easily over 200 students in the class--and this was just one out of four J101 classes. There were also more and more journalism students that weren't taking J101. Of all these hundreds of students, how many of them were actually going to become successful journalists? Was I going to be one of them? I need to be, but the reality of competition hadn't really hit me until this moment. I need to be actively focused on fighting for that career every single day. My media professions professor gave us a long list of tips to success today and one of the main things he emphasized was practicing. How can I expect to be a talented writer if I'm not continually practicing my craft? So this is the start of it. I am going to commit myself to writing a post on here as much as possible. I can't make any promises on what I may write about, and I can't make any promises that it's going to be professional quality stuff--like I said, PRACTICE!--but I have to make sure I'm a step ahead of the game. This is just one way I am hoping to accomplish that. I also have to learn to man up and show people my writing. For someone who wants to be a published writer so bad, I have a misleading fear of showing other people my work. So here's to the start! Stay tuned and prepare to have your mind blown by my inner thoughts.
