Skills

As much I don’t like explicitly calling it a hobby, until it results in regularly paid work, it kind of is. Sometimes I do wonder why I even write at all, I mean being a Graphic Designer (what I’m actually studying) is just shapes… right?
I’ve started to realise that even if I don’t become a full time journalist, the skills I will have gotten from the whole journey will help to no end. Not only have I had to code umpteenth number of Wordpress themes (HTML, CSS & PHP) but I’ve actually learnt how to write properly (English). That’s four vital languages I’ve learnt during the last three years – not including PR-speak.
Again, whether this results in anything I can do for a living remains to be seen. But after all is said and done, I’ve learnt vital skills along with meeting a great collection of friends. That probably excites me more than any job offer ever could*.
*I’m sorry, that sounded straighter in my head.
