So, this is the Bachelor of Communications (Media). This is first year.

I’m sure I have teachers who look at me and see another student who doesn’t have their head in the game, who’s gonna tumble and fall once their out of the course. I’m looking like another barista in the cafe, frothing lost motivation and forgotten dreams.

But I’m not.

If anything, I have learnt that this is my industry, and everyday I see fellow students who clearly don’t feel the same, as well as some who do. Sadly, media seems to be an industry only the lucky and very determined succeed in. And I, at least, feel determined. Spines is hopefully on the way, if it isn’t something else will be. I’m writing, producing, AD-ing, I’m production managing. The latter I’m actually doing on an established variety show, which impressed me, at least.

I feel like I’m getting places, even if it doesn’t look like it to my assessors. It’s just that university is less important than my TV show and Live on Bowen. It’s them that employers will look at on a resume, not ‘B. Comm (Media)’. That’ll just get me a higher pay bracket when I get going.
