I'm looking over the flickr account of Pomona College's "Threepenny Opera". Two people from the Hooligans are in it, so of course I'm going to see it to support them. Plus, I haven't been to an official Pomona play in so long.
I wanted to be part of a musical while I was in college. I did. I have now turned my back completely on theater, musical and otherwise. And I'm okay with it.
Truly, college is made for finding what you want to do with your life. People who are in plays, most of the time, WANT to be actors in some circumstance. I had a lot of fun in high school. I was a drama kid, the leader of the weirdos and large parts in most of the plays. I thought I would have some theater experience in college as well. Hell, I thought I was going to be a drama minor. Oopsie.
I guess I'm slowly figuring out wat I want to do with my life. I applied for an internship at NARAL pro-choice California. They contacted me back. I may be working in San Francisco this summer. I might be working in New York. I might sob quietly into my pillow if I don't get a job.
The real world fast approaches.

Giving up theatre was one of the hardest things I did in college. But ultimately, it forced me to really examine my talents and the things I truly wanted for myself. I think you're doing the same, and I also think you'll end up doing very important selfless work on behalf of others.
