Autobiography Exercise: This assignment was honestly pretty uncomfortable at first. At first I struggled with humility and downplayed my aspirations for ten years from now. After fighting through this, I realized that my plans for after college are fairly unclear; it’s a subject that frankly terrifies me. I do have goals, though. I want to work creatively for a living, live comfortably enough to support myself and family, maintain friendships and make new ones, and be generally happy. These goals are large, but feel attainable. Thinking about how to reach these goals is more inspiring than terrifying, and makes future visioning more comfortable.
Strategic Planning: This exercise formalized some of the steps I want to take to reach my goals. Steps included graduating cum laude, securing a job in the design industry in the next 2 years, and staying in Denver to stay connected to friends. Some of my steps were tentative or backups, such as living with my brother on the east coast to job search out there.
