My Final Niche

Throughout the course of this year I have been trying to figure out what I really am good at, and most importantly what I would enjoy doing. At first I thought my passion would be to pursue a communications major, then it quickly switched to journalism major. I kept switching back and forth, until suddenly it hit me. Although I really enjoy writing for things such as sports and special events, I feel like my niche is culture and event writing. Ultimately I want to major in Public Relations, but as far as writing goes I am going to pursue writing for things such as culture, features, and even events. Even though I try to write more serious things, I always end up having that magazine article writing tone. I love writing How To articles, and pretty much anything that would help someone with something. Writing for fun comes a lot more naturally to me, and isn't that how it is suppose to be? It will most likely not end up the way you want it, if you did not enjoy it. So I try to find things I enjoy doing to bring our my strengths.

My Niche


College. This is mostly used as a noun or an adjective, "i go to college", or "the college life." However you use it college is a time in your life when you will experience the funniest, saddest, happiest, and heartbreaking times in your life. People thought high school was intense, well that was just a walk in the park until you hit college. Let me explain to you the quick difference between college and high school. High school is all about making it home by curfew, but still cutting it to the closest time. We all have been there... your curfew is 1200 midnight, you barely pull into the driveway at 1159 and 30 seconds. Trying to find a way out of the house was also a big part of high school. Always trying to prove how mature and old you are is a common mistake high schoolers give off. Now college, true you have more independence and no parent time, but what most kids do not realize you have 1000000 times more responsibility. You have to start figuring out what you want to do with your life, and what it will take to get there. Cuz guess what all my fellow college kids, there is no college part to. Ya you can go on and get your masters, and doctrine, but guess what you cant go to college for the rest of your life. So now that reality has hit and you realize you have to start planning out your life, what now. Well the first step to trying to figure out what you want to do is to find you niche. Pretty much what you like to do, and could see yourself doing. Luckily I have found mine. My niche in writing is magazine writing. I really enjoy writing culture, features, and perspectives. I am taking a magazine article writing class and absolutely love it. I really hate the fact I am late to it all the time because I love it so much! Yet the end goal I would really like to do in my life is event planning. I have realized I love planning events. I can proudly say I want to be an event planner and be happy about the fact that I know what I am doing. I feel like magazine article writing and event planning go hand in hand which makes it even more exciting. I have come to this realization because I sat down and figured what my niche was. I am so excited because now instead of figuring out what i want to do, I can now figure out what I am going to do to get it.

Gods Beauty


One of the major things that has continuously been fascinating to me, is Gods creation in itself. One of the most fascinating things to me in the ocean. Not only the engulfing blueness that seems to envelope everything around it, or the way the sun hits the water which makes an appearance as if a million diamonds have been placed strategically on top are amazing, but what we as humans do not see is the most mind blowing thing ever. Thousands, millions, maybe even billions of feet beneath what the average beach walker sees in plain sight lies a world of the unknown that only God knows. Even though we try to send people and machinery down under the deep blue, we can never fully grasp what is truly down there. There have been many myths of colonies and worlds, such as Atlantis, or King Tritons kingdom, but we will never actually know who or what lives down there. Why did God leave that a mystery to us? Even the all mighty creator creates things that we will never even realize exists. Mainly the concept of the unknown fascinates me, or maybe it is the fact that we will never fully comprehend Gods beauty that he established here on earth. Either way comparing the ocean to a book seems like an easy way to explain it. You can never judge what is on the inside by just looking at the surface.
