JRN 415 Midterm

This has to be about the 100th time that I have recieved this assignment: Find a niche!!!!!

"Well, what if I don't have a niche" was my response the first couple of times. The next few times I was just depressed that I didn't have one.

Then I realized that sure, other people that I know do have clearly defined niches, but that doesn't mean that I don't have one.

The other day I was talking to my mom about the future, and I was trying to describe what I wanted out of life.

"I don't even have the slightest clue what the future has in store for me", I said, "But I want to live a BIG life, you know".

And that's what is. I want my life to be BIG. Even when I'm stuck at college and can't find the time or money to go on a big European vacation, I want this blog to make responsible to anyone that reads it that I constantly need to be making an effort to make my life BIG.

This week I did a little bit to make my life BIG. I did something that I alweays put off. I climed Mt. Rubidoux. Sure, the drive was only five minutes and the walk was only a few miles, but it was one thing that I did for myself, to make my life as extraordinary as I could at the moment.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing the view was from the top, but the sense of accomplishment that I did something BIG for myself, even if it was just on a small scale, was extraordinary.
