Actually I haven't gotten paid yet. My check should be in the mail. But the fact of the matter is, I was told that I will be receiving $30 for something I wrote. Something that actually came from my brain. I can't believe it.
That NSYNC song? From the 90's? Yeah. It has never been so tightly aligned with my life before.
Today, my friend's dad said that once I graduate college I'll find a super successful job and make a ton of money. I can only hope he's right. I've done well in school, and I feel like I'm really getting a hang of the magazine/journalism business. But at the same time, I feel like even if you have awesome skills if you don't know the right people it doesn't matter if you know the difference who vs. whom, or how many pretty words you can string together. I feel like in the business I'm going into a lot of it relies on the luck of the draw.
I hope I don't draw the short straw.
