Here come the first intro.....

  OK, so this the first time I ever write something in the internet, I try to keep it simple because you know if you ever write things that offend people, you might land yourself into hot soup. Or I can be famous with the help of my fool mouth to reach Kim Kardashian's stardom. Hi, my name is John and I am a college student that study for the first year in my degree. My body is getting fatter as I deal with more and more stress as days pass.

  Before we get to the sour and whining part of this blog post of my miserable life, here are some photos I take to cheer you up, behold...

  Just look at the photos bring calmness and the zen essence to my heart...ok, here we go.

  So basically my life is a huge mess, I don't know what to do with my degree, I wish there is a way to obtain double degree in game design and animation. See, the thought of choose either one course would make me suffer for let go the other one. To make thing worse, I have headache since the past few days due to stress. I am not in a happy place at all, why would I put myself in such difficult situation? The decision would make a huge impact in my life none the less, but does it worth the risk for future career? I don't know. First you have an art degree in digital animation which major featured in film, then you have another art degree in game design which major in well, game. I love both game and film, I am really having tough time to choose either one, I ask for help from friends,tips from family and opinions from classmates, yet it doesn't help.

  

  Both majors have an important place in my heart, for animation, I am the kid who watch Disney movie when I grow up, sometimes I still watch those classic animation movie likes Cinderella, Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. The songs in the animation movie will forever stay in my heart and they will never go out of style. I wish I can work in one these amazing studios in the future. Even though my drawing skill isn't strong enough to match the high demand of artistic skill in this industry. On the other part, I like game design, I have my admiration toward gaming industries when I still a teenager, game likes Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta and even Harvest Moon in those early days.  That would be cool if I can work for Square Enix or Capcom in Japan, but that would be long way to go for sure, or daydreaming until someone slap me to awoke me.

  In order to make this decision easier, I decided to find some inspiration from both animation film and video game. I take some times to experience the beauty of the characters and storytelling from both entertainment media. It really inspired me in a surprising way as I go through both to recall my childhood experience. In animation, Cinderella inspires me to work hard even though she is having hard time in her life. For Beauty and the Beast, Belle inspires me never judge a book by its' cover. For Aladdin, the story inspires me that you can count on friends when you are in trouble. While in video game, every time I turn on my PlayStation I find it fascinating to venture to the imaginary world that embark on the adventure. For God of War, the main protagonist Kratos inspires me that you can defeat stronger opponent if you believe in yourself. In Final Fantasy, the tale that loved by many gamers inspires me that no matter how evil triumph over the world, the good will always win in the end. In Beyond 2 Souls, Jodie inspires me that we must let go the pass in order to accept our true self. The games and animations have put impacts on my life as these medias somehow shape my view of the world and my attitude on certain issue. I become more open minded and conscious on my surrounding with question in my brain that frequently ask what will Cloud, the main protagonist in Final Fantasy 7 do if he has similar problem as mine. The impact of both game and animation has put me in an uneasy situation as I can only choose one major to study. I am going through deeper thought with some soul searching to find my answer.

  Now I am thinking going for game design with extra study programmed called animation with game design, but does it worth to try and spent the money on it? I wonder how would other people handle this situation? They probably tackle it really well as I am just an immature spoil brat. Oh well, guess I have to deal with this problem one step at a time. Hopefully this will serve as a lesson to the future "me", so that I won't go through each day with so much negative emotion.
