One of the main reasons I choose to study the arts during my time in undergrad was because it seemed like the arts would allow for me to pursue a career that was challenging, but also allowed for some creative thinking. At the time, business seemed boring. Mundane. All business, no fun. Just a series of processes. Well, like most 18 year olds, I was wrong. I started my internship with Wonderstate media last week. It's unlike any job I have ever had in a lot of ways, but there are two reasons that stick out. One, there are only three of us, and the other two guys are really good friends of mine. Two, it's a new business. Working for a new, relatively unknown business that is just starting to make itself known and just starting to attract customers is a totally different experience for me. That is where the creative part comes in. How do we make the public aware of the products and services we offer with a limited marketing budget? Good question, I'll have to get back to that one.
My sister turned 21 late last month. It's weird how nothing really makes you feel older than when the people around you begin to get older. Anyway, taking her out last weekend pretty much drained our funds for this weekend. So, Steph and I went to a local bar called the Smoke and Barrel . Pretty much every weekend they have bands playing, with no cover, and cheap beer. Perfect for those weekends when you don't have a lot of money to spend.
