Next summer, I'mma be 21. I made a conscious effort to start making the transition into being an adult yo but sometimes I just feel like everything I do is pointless. I'm doing pretty well but I'm studying at a middle of the road uni aiming for a career in finance. Generally speaking out here in the UK, unless you coming from Cambridge, Oxford or LSE it ain't happening for you in the City unless you got a serious hook-up. I ain't got that.
I love hip-hop and everything to do with it. Up until last year I was single-handedly running a blog that was hitting 3,000+ uniques a day. The night Ross dropped You Tha Boss / I Love My bytches was when I stopped. For the first time I ever I thought, "why am I doing this? F*ck getting out my bed at 2am to post this track, this ain't helping me eat. F*ck it." That site got sacked off.
Now I love spending my nights trawling Twitter and ALL my favourite blogs catching up on what's gone on and that but I know I'm gonna look back on this time when I'm 30 and think, "f*ck I wasted so much time doing that sh*t, where did it get me?". For the last six hours (and pretty much the past month) I been reading up on SEO and Internet Marketing. I ain't got a single form of income right now so I been making an effort to see if I can bring in the cake from home. Potentially this sh*t could lead me to eat very well but this ish is a LONG process and tbh, it's not even guaranteed.
The longer I spend researching that, the less time I am reading up on my degree. The degree is my best chance of leading me to long-term success and I already mentioned that to get the piff jobs you got to be some kind of genius in this competitive field. the Internet sh*t is only my side-hustle but it's quite important at the same time. I do one, I don't do the other. If I'm tired or just can't be bothered, I'm watching Mad Men or playing FIFA. When I'm doing that, I ain't doing EITHER and sh*t just gets even worse.
I feel like whatever I do, I'm just sh*ttin on something else. I don't wanna do nothing at all but in this day and age, I could fully commit to this degree and STILL potentially not even get a decent job when I graduate. If I over-commit to my side interests (blogging, internet related money schemes, playing sport), I could potentially miss out on a good degree.
I know you're all gonna say "First thing you need to do is stop whining on the Coli" but I ain't tryna hear that sh*t. I know I ain't the only one that's felt this.
