The amount of opportunities that have come my way this year is unbelievable. I know it’s not yet December and it’s not the “season” to be looking back at what the year has brought you. But hey, it’s not bad to look back once in a while and be thankful for what has happened.

Establishing a career while still studying college is no joke. I was targeting the photography career at the start of the year, but now I’ve moved on to web design. Everyone wants to be a photographer now. No one wants to be a web designer. I figured that it’s a good career move. Although I have been doing photography-related projects on the side, one about to be published tomorrow (imagine my excitement right now!), I’m thinking of doing it as a hobby and/or a secondary career.

Although I do get drained physically and mentally, this job brings about more stress than I ever imagined, I don’t get drained financially. And that’s a good thing for me (and my boyfriend lol) and for my parents of course.

I’m thankful for my bosses who have opened my eyes on how harsher the industry is. If you’re scared of your professors now, wait until you get a boss and some workmates. My bosses are nice, but the requirements that this job entails is just vastly different. So thankful for them for scouting me and actually giving a job to someone like me who hasn’t even finished college and doesn’t have much to show the industry yet.

Thankful for my friends who have always been so kind to pitch in job offers here and there from people they know. Although some of them never actually happen, it’s nice to know that you guys support and believe me enough to actually offer me a job. I owe you guys.

Thankful to some of my professors who believe in what I can do and not force me to do anything else other than what I love to do.

To Nikolo, who has always been there to support me when I succeed and even when I fail. For the time he gives just to sit and talk about random thoughts and become immature. Forever my stress-reliever. And for the rides home from long days at school or shoots.

And to all the nice people who leave me messages of support and love, you have no idea how that gets me through my down moments.

It feels nice to look back and see how people have affected you. Their roles are a lot more different than I expected. They’re just little dots that end up being connected and lead to greater things. I’m just thankful for everything that has happened this year.

What are you thankful for?
