For the past few days, my adviser has been in London visiting students' internships, having meetings with professors, etc. His goal was to meet with each student individually and have a chat about where we see ourselves after we graduate in May - aka: a dose of reality.
After living in New York City for a summer and spending the last few months in London, it's dawned on me that, as much as I love so many aspects of city life, I could never permanently reside in a big city and be happy. I used to think I wanted to be that PR girl that was working the door of a major party or event, the one that knew everyone on the A-list of the music world and would take New York City by storm! And now I feel like I could be more content staying low-key in my hometown with a puppy (but still doing music pr of course).

So I talked with my advisor about staying local and hopefully I can find something!
All I know is I need the music industry in my life and I just hope it wants to be in mine.
Are you graduating in May? Have you been hit with the reality of job hunting!?
it's funny how you and i both came to that conclusion after our adventures in the big city. i always thought that would be me but i just wouldn't be happy. i need green grass and cars that i can drive and puppy parks! i feel like i had a goal with nyc and i met it. i lived it and now it's time to move on to a different goal :) we'll have music in north carolina! you'er always welcome :P
ReplyDeleteI know right?! I'm glad we went, had the experience and realized what we want before we dove completely headfirst into nyc!
ReplyDeleteif north carolina has a thriving music scene, count me in!
