late bloomer

This point in my life I am pretty much ready to start my life. Even though I should have about four years ago. I'm a late bloomer. I am 25 years old and almost graduated from Oakland University and very nervous to start looking for a career. I know I'm pretty much screwed because of my age, where I am in life, my maturity level, my education and how behind I am on trying to even get a real job.
I have to work with what I have to get where I want to be. I know I want to work with video somehow as an editor probably. I have a lot of work to do and a lot to learn. I need to find a place that I will fit in and I know I will succeed. I will probably have to go through a few jobs before I find a place right for me. I am nervous and excited but more nervous because of my limitations. I have to work on my presentation of myself. In other words I need to be more mature.
I have never been a thoughtful planer. I have always just let things happen how it happens. I am finding this is not a way to live. There is so much I could have been doing to make my life easier. I am not the most intelligent but I know when I have messed up. I could have been done with college in 2007 and then could have started looking for places to begin my career. But I did not go that rout and decided that seven year plan was what I shall do.
Although I am far behind on schedule I think it was meant to be. I would have never taken a new media class. I love working with video art especially the editing part. Sometimes its frustrating but I think I could do something with it. Hopefully one day make money off of it, hopefully soon.

  1. u need to be nicer to urself... u r intelligent and talented, and u must believe in that! =-)

    and please do not think u r old, because u r not!

    what u need to work on is ur confidence.... u need to find somewhere inside u all that is good (which I am sure there r lots of), and embrace those things, and project to the rest of the world all the wonderful things about u...
