enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

Spent the weekend @ home to "decide my life."

So that meant that I went to Starbucks on Saturday morning at 8:40 with my parents.  We sipped coffee.  We chatted.  I told them that I am interested in being a writer.  I want to tell stories.  But that is sort of like wanting to be an actor.  Or a singer.  It takes talent and hard work but also A LOT of luck.  It’s not something that you can just "become." 

But bless the parents for their support of all things crazy.  We talked for ever and decided to focus on the present – this summer.  I have a few resumes out to a few places…GAP, Target and a PR firm in Minneapolis.  I need an internship that could develop into a job post-graduation.  I am still interested in Marketing.  But I am also interested in gaining experiences – to write about later.

And in the meantime: I will continue to Dream Big…and Drink Coffee.

    Good for you Elise. I know I’ll be in the same shoes a few years down the road. Keep pursuing your writing, maybe your internship/possible job might lend you some great material!
