Ups and Downs in Life

Have you ever thought of what you want to be when you grow up? I know this is random hahah but this is like the most common and cliché question, yet most of us don't know the answer to it, especially you youngsters.

For those who are working right now, are you enjoying what you're doing? Because deep down in my heart, I sincerely think that one should be doing a job you like. 

I think that I wouldn't mind if I got a low pay for a job I like, as long as I enjoy it. But of course I wouldn't work for free or a ridiculously low pay, as long as it's reasonable.

I've always wanted to be an actress ever since I watched my favourite chinese show, Precious Babes (三个女人一个宝).

The female character is a director, while the male is an actor. I like her boyish character, and also her acting skills, which was what first inspired me to be an actress.

And, after watching my favourite youtube channels, Smosh, and Nigahiga, I got more inspired to act in those comedy shows. And then I found out that you could earn a living through youtube!!! They earned A LOT, like literally alot, even millions, especially for those really popular youtube channels. That made me want to be a youtuber, but I know I could never be like them. Now, more fans have mimicked their funny vids, and I found that they were just 'copying' smosh. I didn't want to copy them, and there was nothing else I could do, so I just gave up that dream.

Also, after watching Coffee prince and seeing the boyish character the female character played, I got even more inspired to be an actress!

In the past, I would definitely wish for fans, which was the main reason why I wanted to become an actress. But now, I realise fans can't always be by your side, and you wouldn't really be able to have a life of your own( I think.) And every simple action you do would be judged, and gossiped about. But the most important thing is that, I realise now that I want to become an actress not for the fans, but for the fun and enjoyment. Knowing that you can make people smile is really good as well.

Also, I've wanted to be a writer too as it's really fun to convey your ideas not only through pictures, but through words. (Okay I sound like some wise old man saying this hahahxD)

But I heard that your book must be a bestseller, and have to sell at least 50,000 copies or you won't be able to make a living out of it. So I've decided to just write for fun.

 

Maybe most people would think that my dreams are not realistic, but you never know. Maybe one day my name or face might appear somewhere hahahxD (hey, look! My name already appeared on  aff!) 

And I know my parents wouldn't support me to be an actress or writer as they say it's unrealistic. Unless maybe I become really popular and earn lotsxD

But it's kinda hard I guess, and my parents would want me to study hard and do well in my exams first, before they agree on anything. And, I found out that you need to a university degree or something to be an actress. I don't know why, but I'll work hard for it, okay :)

Also, I'm aiming to go to a jc/poly that'll teach korean!!!!! I am sooo excited right now. 

What is your dream? 

Surely after reading this long crap you have some insparation... no?

 

Anyways I don't know why I posted this hhaha. But I feel so much better posting it! Sorry if I wasted your time reading this tho:p

And if your have any recommendations of a job close to acting or writing, or if you have any thoughts, feel free to comment =)

I had many dreams and I always chose jobs I was sure would gain me money (like real money) but in since my first year in high school I realized I wanted to be an IT genius, creating things and stuff, I aimed for it and worked really hard on my baccalauréat (since you need above 17/20 to do IT) I even chose mathematic as a speciality in high school (that's how it's devided)
I passed my BAC with almost 17.5 and could follow what I wanted, but then I started hesitating. And then my mother kept pushing me to do medecine but I hate it, and my father suggested pharmacy (though I'm a genius in maths I in science -more like a hate not unability)
So I ended up with Pharmacy, this is my third year and I feel in hell since I didn't like it. Now I'm adjusting, I want to make medicines and cure people (and will work for it) besides, I can make good money with it :P
Sorry for the longue essay, but you owe me for reading yours (just kidding)
