Cute Motivation

I'm hungry and tired and apathetic. I'm surprised I'm doing this right now.

Yesterday at 3am Donald Trump was announced to have won the presidential election. Obviously, that's insane and groundbreaking shit. I have no idea how to react, how to feel, what to do. There was a lot of fearful and unsure people walking around campus yesterday and I was one of them. I just have no idea what's about to happen.

From what I've been reading, Trump is going to do a lot of stuff that goes against the "liberal agenda". If I'm being honest with myself, I kinda like the liberal agenda. I like that cheaper education was a popular ideal. I was a fan of all the social progress we were making. It's frustrating, now, that a total homophobic, anti abortion evangelist is one heart attack away from the white house. This is a very scary time.

I have a positive outlook on it for the most part. For one, this is a great time to be a comedian. We haven't had this much ammo to work with since George Bush. The Onion has been doing a great job producing content, I think I saw them release about 9 articles since the election closed.

I just got distracted, I should have eaten breakfast. I blame my housemate for drinking all my milk and preventing me from having a banana shake. It would have been amazing.

I think I'm ready for post college life of writing comedy, practicing smash, and working whatever job I need to. If I need to work 40 hours a week and practice everything else on the side, that's fine. I want to build up a portfolio of comedy in college so I might be able to get a writing job right away. That's the dream, man. That's the dream right there.

I might be close to a completed movie script by the end of the year, so that's really exciting too. With all of these examples of writing, as well as Terps pushing me at least one more time (Terps is literally like a writing/performing/collaborating bootcamp) I am in a good place to refine my comedy skills before I graduate. I can be a writer. I will be a writer.

Wow, look at how motivated I got how cute.
