Day 1 Blog.

Hello, there, beautiful people of Blogger and other Internet sites!

My name is Angela. I'm currently a freshman at the University of Mount Union, in my spring 2013 semester, and enjoying life. Basically, my life revolves around music, musicians, and the thrill I get performing. I have a YouTube channel, currently, where I post covers of songs that I make at Mount's Coffeehouse Series (basically just a fancy name for open mic nights), that I make over the summer, and also vlogs that just randomly come to be. I'm artsy, or at least in my mind I am, and I'm constantly trying to better who I am as a person.

 

I've come to learn that if you want something in life, then you need to honestly go out and dislocate an arm in order to get it, because things don't come to you easily. Which is completely irrelevant to the next few things I'm going to drag on and on about. So, who am I?

 

I'm an eighteen year old girl, working on getting her writing degree and a double minor in music and art, with her own big city dreams still clouding any logic inside her mind. People always ask me what I intend to do with my degrees--will I become a teacher? Well, the answer to that is "no". I don't want to teach, I don't want to have a "real" job. It's 2013, why do I need to conform to old-fashioned, hoary, old America?

 

What do I really want to do with my life? Well, that's a good question. I have a bucket list with over 70 items on it, so I'd like to get all of those crossed off. That's my real goal, but career wise, I want to be a recording and traveling musician. Unfortunately, that's easier to type out than to do actually do. Back in my sophomore year of high school, I got the chance to work with some amazing other guys in my school. Colton, Rick, Devin, Bryan, and myself became known as Look Both Ways, and those were the best days of my life. Unfortunately, keeping a band that has completely different ideas on where they'll end up in the future is really hard.

 

 

But that one failure of a band gave me some of the best memories of my life, granted I haven't had much of a life at this point, and even spurred a romantic interest (ooh, la, la). Although the romantic interest and I are no longer together, and although the band broke up, it has never discouraged me to remember everything that happened then. I mean, when you've been dreaming about something since childhood, obstacles are bound to make a presence on the journey. So, yeah... being in a band, playing the music that I want to play, and ultimately being happy is what I want to do with my life.

 

I'm thinking about using my degree, when I get it after completing another 7 semesters including this one, to get a job writing concert reviews or interviewing bands in a music magazine until I get a band of my own. That way I'll at least be somewhere close to the thing I want to do in my life. My minors are only in existence because I love them. Music and art have always been the crutches of my life, so why not? And I felt like there's more to do with a writing degree that can come in handy in the future than there is with a major in either of my minors. 

 

So, I guess this will just be a blog until I can reach my goals. It'll be an adventure I suppose. You don't have to hold on the entire ride, because I'll probably manage to do something that someone will hate along the way. But, the beautiful side of this is that it's my life and I don't change. I'm a rock with my morals, personality, and self, and that's not going to change at all on this rollercoaster of a dream that I have. So, you're welcome to come along with my if you want to, but if you don't then that's fine by me. We'll see where this will take us, shall we?
