What I really want in life (or at 22yrs 10 months)

Exploring issues in these classes have made me realise what I'm truly passionate about. Whenever we're made to come up with research topics, campaigns or issues to raise, I almost always go for something within the scope of the environmentalist and activist organisations. The ones who are big on CSR and aren't afraid to use media as a platform to change the attitudes of or promote awareness for something they believe in. I want to do that one day, and I think it's sort of made me reconsider my decision to venture into the advertising / branding / marketing industry. PR and Comms have taught me a lot. Made me think a lot about how I want to give back to the world, to make a difference. Now it's all about harnessing that and my passion for digital tech (new media etc.). Quite happy with this decision actually, finding a direction. All this whilst listening to the 8tracks playlist Lisa recommended http://8tracks.com/alexlong714/what-makes-me-happy :) It's gonna be a good weekend, I can feel it.
