This last post is me thinking about my life beyond college. What will I want to do next? Well, it's fairly obvious: film school. Preferably one of the best, so I plan on working hard in order to get into schools such a NYU or UCLA, and to maybe pick up a scholarship or two. Film school is my dream, nothing excited me more than the idea of going to a place devoted to learning how to discuss, analyze, and make cinema. I've been educating myself for the last five years, spending more time researching the history and technique of movies than I would on school itself. It's what I'm passionate about, it's what I want to do for my career, and I genuinely believe that it'll be something that I'll excel at. Right now, as I'm writing this, I'm watching Lawrence of Arabia and marveling at how it is both the most intimate and grandiose epic ever made. Before I go to sleep at night, I read about ten pages of a book that'll deal in the history of great American directors or a magazine giving the skinny on modern movies and what's ahead in the future of film. So yeah, that's what I'll be doing when I graduate college. But of course, there's that nagging question: what if something happens? What if I find interest in something else? What if it becomes economically unfeasible to pursue that kind of career? What if I simply won't have what it takes? I think about these things, and yet my gut sincerely doubts all of them.
(Note: If you'll scroll down past the four senior reflection's you will also find three blog posts. I just don't want to risk you overlooking them).
