Teach Me How to Carrie

To be a columnist or to not be a columnist, that seems to be the question that is going on in my head right now. You see the University newspaper is hiring columnists and cartoonists. Yes, you did read that correctly, hiring! I saw that and just about sh*t myself. I mean I can get paid for writing about my opinion to about 4000+ people across this city! That's huge! It's something I've always wanted to do! I mean, sure my blog is nice, but the viewership I could be getting if I was a columnist, that would be amazing! Or I hope it would be.

You see from a very young age I always wanted to write stuff people would read. I even remember watching “Sex and the City,” (cliché I know, and out of order so I had no clue what was going on!) and I loved what Carrie did. I've never told anyone but I wanted to be like Carrie when I grew up. Living the “posh” life in New York, having lots of clothes, close friends, and parties galore! I wanted to write about it all.

I wanted to have a column where people would go and send me fan mail and get me noticed just enough to write a book (or maybe a couple). All I knew was that I wanted to be a writer just like her.

Maybe I was meant to see this, it was a sign from the all knowing universe that has been kicking my butt lately. I would like to believe so, anyways.

However, if I got this opportunity, I could give them a more diverse view on things. Being gay and growing up in Montana, you learn how to get a different view on things and find others with the same views. Because of that I have a very diverse group of people I know all around the city, that could give me inspiration and ideas to write about as well as getting a different audience as well. I can also help with giving more information about the LGBT community and events coming up. I think on this campus it's important to get this diverse voice out there for people to read and collect.

So see, I feel like I'm perfect for this opportunity. Or at least I would like to think I am...

Also... why are there so many attractive people on this campus? (I think that though is for another blog...)
