Hijinks Inc.

When I graduated high school, I wanted to be a journalist.   I wanted to travel, write engaging articles to enthrall the public, the whole deal.  You might even say I had a passion for writing.

A couple years later I had a couple jobs, bills to pay, and very little desire to write, let alone be a journalist.  What changed?  I think it was me.  When I wrote in high school it was a tool to help me organize my thoughts and make decisions.  As I got older those decisions started becoming easier to make on a day to day basis (practice makes perfect), and writing wasn’t something I needed anymore.

Fast forward to the present.  Now that I’ve been writing on a consistent basis for our lovely conglomeration of a blog, the though of “hey, I could actually do this with my life” started creeping back in.  Then I had a conversation with my dad, my girlfriend, and one of my best friends, and they all–directly and indirectly–encouraged me to try journalism again.  All in the same night nonetheless.

I figure, why not? When I started taking classes off and on (three years ago) I was aiming for a Journalism degree.  So right now I have the classes I need to do it, I only need to finish of a couple more pre-reqs and I’ll be good to go.  Did I mention that with the career change I can put Hijinks Inc on my resume? Yeah baby, yeah.
