Acting

So I love Joy's workshop. I've been feeling pretty down about my level of talent lately, but doing monologues again just felt right at home. It felt like an old shoe or something that just fit perfectly. Even when I was reading a monologue I was unsure about I was able to sense that the uncertainty came from the monologue not from my insecurities. I miss acting so much.
I started wondering, why am I not planning on majoring in theatre in college if this is what makes me feel good? I can't think of a good reason. At first it was that I didn't want to pigeon-hole myself into a career that everyone tells me I'll never make money in, and since I was little my parents have encouraged my writing over my acting (I don't know which I'm better at anymore honestly I tend to think neither) and they want me to study writing in college and I love both but I just don't know. I have no idea what I want to do and it's freaking me out...

    Don't let it freak you out... you still have plenty of time to decide on what you want to do. Go undecided.
    I actually recently have decided that going undecided is better than knowing exactly what you want to do. It lets you experience more and really take your time to figure out what you like instead of realizing in 3 years that you hate what you've majored in and where you're heading. It lets you experience more aspects of what life has to offer.
    Take both writing and drama classes, you love both so do both. :)

    WHAT?! Nicole you we're so goodd! Your monologues just come out so naturally. I remember thinking how amazing of an actress you were when we did the children's play run through. ANDD no one every said you had to choose one over the other. Both of them tie into eachother so wichever one you choose you can always pursue the other one as a hobbyy :)

    Hard to decide at 18 what you want to be doing 'til you're 65 or older. Maybe it is best to decide on what you want to do for the next 2 years or so.
