Greetings! I'm JRLOI - second year here, and as the title suggests I am still pretty lost when it comes talking about where I see myself in the future. So, I'm sorry to say, but that hasn't changed.😅 I've been staring at one of the introduction prompts related to career and then it dawned on me - oh 💩! I have no short-term or long-term goals, no practical goals, no big dream goals. I have NO career goals! To top it off, I'm still unsure whether this course is a right fit for me. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the modules, I certainly did. I'm curious if anyone else is feeling like a tiny friggin' sardine in vast ocean, just swimming about while trying to not get sucked in to a current that leads you to a 9 -5 that you'll grow to d r e a d.
Well, isn't this positive start to this post? For real though, I feel like most people who got their degree and gradually grow accustomed at workplace in their career they've chose may think - "Well, this is it. I've studied 1,2,3,4, 5.... years to get where I am. This has to be what I want. I can't turn back now."
Well, I work for a business man, he's married, and is a father to a sweet little boy. He told me straight up, that even he doesn't know if this career is what he wants to do. I don't why, but I've always found it a safer option if I know where I'm heading. I suppose the take on here is if you like something go for it and it may open things you're into until you can pinpoint your niche.
Just like that double diamond we all love seeing in our lectures...
Alright, I'm going off an a tangent.
Since this blog will have content based on readings related to games - let's talk about games, nerds!
I don't consider myself well -versed in the gaming culture. As a kid, I naturally wanted many things. I remember how much I wanted a Nintendo DS and spam Mario. Nope. I wanted a switch. Nope. I didn't bother asking for a PlayStation.
So naturally I turned to pc games - the free ones of course (I'm going to spare myself some embarrassment here.) However, games that I've played recently include League of Legends, Minecraft, Among Us, Valorant. I might add a game wishlist here later.
Well folks, I'll wrap it up here for now. I might come back at a different date to delete everything add more points. For know, I'll leave you with this jumble of thoughts - who really knows what it means. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Take what you will from it.
