Listening to: Eminem- Love the way you lie
After 4 sweet years at Sonoma State, I graduated in May with a BA in Communications. I really believe I made the most of my time at SSU and will take everything I learned with me when I tackle the real world. What did I learn? Well.. I learned how to be a good friend, thanks especially to my roommate of the last two years miss Erin Andrade. If it wasn't for this girl, I wouldn't know how to cook, clean, do my own laundry, or be the person I am today. She is my number one fan and my number one critic. Most of my college memories include her; from laughing, to crying, to punching the shit out of each other with boxing gloves after too many margaritas at Mary's- she was right there with me. My friends had the biggest impact on me during my time at SSU- more than my teachers, classes, and even my parents. If it wasn't for the Kappas, I would still be self centered- and really boring. They taught me the world doesn't revolve around me- and to be a better listener. Amy Twomey was there from day one. She has seen it all- and still loves me anyways. She how to make the best jello shots- and a lot about forgiveness. These girls will stay with me no matter where I go from here.
As far as the actual reason why I went to Sonoma State (to get a good education), I learned a lot. I learned a lot about myself, the world, and I learned what I want to do with my life. I was so fortunate to have amazing teachers that took their time to get to know me and challenge me every step of the way. I have a better understanding of the world, and a better grip on life than I did 4 years ago. Since graduating, some friends and I have created our own production company, Postlife Productions. I am excited and proud and can't wait to see what the future holds for us- us being me, Kev and April. They are my partners in work and in life. I don't make any decision without consulting them first, and despite our differences- we work well together and I consider them two of the most talented people I know.
My life now is very different from my life one month ago. I made the decision to rent a house with my boyfriend in El Cerrito- about 45 minutes from Sonoma. My days have been filled with cooking, cleaning, long walks, and exploring my new surroundings. I read too much and miss my friends. Life is good but different. I do freelance for an animal rescue organization in Emeryville and am fostering two kitties- Eleanor Rigsby and Jude. It has definitely helped keep me busy- but I am ready for them to go to nice homes- Char will miss them though- she thinks she's their mom. As far as life with the boyfriend, the usual roommate stuff- to be expected. We end each day on a good note- and never go to sleep angry. It's just not healthy. We are taking it day by day- and so far so good. You have to pick your battles. Life is too short.
Right now I am working on Postlife, and crossing my fingers about my job interview with KTVU on Thursday. I had the opportunity to intern there this past semester, and it was by far the best decision I have made in my life. I absolutely fell in love with with people- and was able to put my skills and creativity to use. I would be proud to represent KTVU. would be a great stepping stone on my way to becoming a producer and I couldn't imagine a better place for me right now. Keep your fingers crossed, think positive, and wish me luck!
Peace and Love.
Peace and Love.
