Man...college is really not for the weakly disciplined. I only say this because I am a tired young man...and a tired young man often plays catch up. I gotta step it up!
What's up, ya'll? I'm back once again. I hope ya'll don't mind the disclaimer up there, but I just gotta remind myself that I need to keep pushin' forward with this whole "College" thing.
Another question has been placed on the floor by the uh-may-zing Mrs. G.
So without further adieu, let's get started.
So, T.R....what do you REALLY want to do with your English degree?
To be honest, there are so many places that I can go with this, that if I were to list them all, I'd take forever. So, for the sake of time and space, and the capacity of words that my fingers are allowed to type at this late hour, I'll just let ya'll into my main focus.
I really want to pursue a career in music and studio recording. You may ask me how this ties in with being an English major, but one must also keep in mind that English Majors are not necessarily confined to the stereotypical "English Major Box." In fact, for an assignment, I actually found a list of famous, celebrity English majors. Upon seeing that list, the results shocked me. The list of celebrities that I found was so diverse...in all honesty, it gave me hope. People like Vin Diesel, Sting, Dr. Seuss, Amerie, Conan O'Brien...just to name a few (to see the full list, just bing the term "Famous English Majors").
Anyway, just seeing that list gave me the "ok" to be secure in what I want to do. Discovering that there are limitless possibilities awaiting me...gives me a positive sense of reassurance that I'm taking the right path. Besides mathematics...we all use English in our everyday lives. We have to read, comprehend, follow directions, ask questions, type, write, typewrite (lol), solve problems, communicate...the amount of English use in our society cannot be measured. Even in the music industry, with the way the world is turning, every single facet of a broad industry such as this one is becoming digital and computerized. Young English majors are becoming more and more tech-savvy every day. Being a technically sound English Major is like...MAJOR points for almost any job position. Being able to learn and utilize certain software and even known software such as Word, Outlook, and Excel are big pluses. Many aspects of the music industry can be found and operated via computer, and knowing this, I feel like I have a slight advantage in pursuing music because I am learning excellent communication and writing skills as an English Major.
Writing has always been my forte. I have always loved poetry and rhyme, and Hip-Hop music (preferably East-Coast, Mid-West, and Christian) has always been my favorite genre. I can't get enough of it. It helps me to express who I am. Yes...it shows who T.R. McKnight TRULY is. I love music, and I love writing. It just makes sense, right?
...Well, to me it does.
But I hope that I answered the question thoroughly.
...or at least adequately. ;^D
So...be sure to scroll up to the next blog topic after this!
