Good Question.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately),the answer’s not so simple.
The basics: 21-years-old, living in Boulder, Colorado. Juuuuust about done with a degree in psychology and a degree in advertising from the University of Colorado….one.more.semester.
Post-graudation?? Headed to law school. Yes, I realize how possibly corrupt this is: transferring from advertising to law…keep a close eye on your children. But I also know that I have never felt so passionate about anything, and I honestly can’t wait for it all to begin.
I started Apolaustic at the request of an invaluable professor – this blog was part of an attempt to understand how to create a cohesive online presence. After a semester’s worth of dabbling in the blogosphere, however, I’ve discovered that i kiiiiiind of like this place, this website, this blog – it is, after all, me in word format (and let’s be honest – I like me).
I am a member of a generation and a nation whose mascot may as well be the energizer bunny. You have never accomplished enough. You have never seen enough. You have never, ever reached the top. While this attitude and the work ethic it fosters is something I appreciate and take to heart more than I will ever be able to truly convey, it does sometimes become difficult to stay impassioned. We are all on this quest for something, for the next big thing. But if we don’t all learn to slow down every once in a while, to take a step back, to put things in perspective, to regain our footing, and to breathe in our surroundings ever so slowly, our heads may very well explode before we get there.
This blog is report on finding sanity in an insane schedule – it’s a collection a selfish escapes designed to reduce the noise and remind us what’s important – it’s a wakeup call that you’re not only what you do and accomplish, but also what you think and feel and believe.
The day you become stagnant and complacent – the day you sit back and you say, “I’ve done it all…I’ve learned it all” — this is the day that you’ve failed. My mission is to avoid this moment. All that I seek is perpetual inquiry.
