@citivas That was a lot of good information, thank you! Not getting into a college isn’t going to damper my will to succeed. I just think of this as the first of many bumps in a long journey. The free time of whatever school I go to will give me space to create and try new things on my own, which I think will be great as I can finally start making the scripts I write into a reality. I already have my sights set (probably not for freshman/sophomore year, but later) on applying for an internship with Last Week Tonight/John Oliver’s show, The Daily Show, or Colbert. I know they have summer interns who are usually college age and I would love to work for part of my life as a researcher-writer for one of those late night programs who tackle real issues in the world in an entertaining way. But really, I’d take almost any internship that would help me score connections within the industry, because I don’t really have one specific job I’d like to do for life. I want to write, I want to direct, I could even see myself editing one day. It may mean I’ll have to work twice as hard to catch up to USC/UCLA/Wes film grads, but it’s work I look forward to.
