Let's Get Creative!
Graphic design courses aren't just about learning to use tools-they're about discovering your creative voice and translating ideas into visuals that inspire and captivate. Whether you're pursuing a new career, freelancing, or just learning for fun, this journey can be incredibly rewarding.
At 23, I've already finished two degrees-something I'm proud of, but also really tired from. I need a break, but let's be real-life doesn't stop. So, I've got a plan: apply for a paid internship.
This one's in San Francisco, at a brand-new startup. The cool part? I actually know the CEO. It's not as wild as it sounds-I worked hard to earn my spot in his circle. Now, he's building something new, and I can't think of a better chance to help out while gaining some experience. Who would say no to someone fresh out of a top business school? Exactly.
But the truth is, I'm not just doing this for the job. I want a change. I need to get away from home for a while, and this feels like the perfect way to do it.
The weird thing is, I can't shake the feeling that this internship is going to be more than I expected. Like, it's not just going to boost my career-it's going to change my life. In ways I can't even imagine yet.
San Francisco isn't just about work. It might just be the start of a whole new chapter.
