Hi Everyone!
This year marks three years since I joined Rookie as a contributor. In celebration of this milestone, I watched some of my old videos. I realized I’ve grown a lot since I was a senior in high school–and it has been recorded on the internet for everyone to see! It is both beautiful and scary. I remember that in high school, I did a lot of things–I played tennis, I made art, and of course I wrote. I did these things because I was good at them and because I was told to embrace being well-rounded. As I transitioned into college and now as I transition into my senior year, I am told to find a way to pick just one thing so I can get my adult life started. Suddenly, being well-rounded means I am indecisive and that I lack knowledge about who I am and what I want out of life. Have you ever felt the desire to have multiple creative pursuits, the pressure to be well-rounded, and then suddenly the coercion to just pick one thing? This video asks the question, “How important is it to be well-rounded?” I will also ask these other questions:
See you next month! ♦
