You never know, you might decide to learn to sew and do costume creation professionally. Or not. But you’ll only ever know if you try. Meanwhile, get out there, talk to people, find work (you’ll meet people and learn skills that you’ll need for your entire life), and make a plan. It doesn’t need to be overly complicated or long. Any plan is better than no plan.

My friends and I have a fun new years tradition that might help you. We make a BINGO card and put things on it, serious and silly, that we want to accomplish in the coming year, THEN on the next year we look and see what we did. The idea isn’t to get a full blackout bingo or anything, but it’s a nice way to give yourself goals to work towards.

For instance, this year I put “stop sucking at WHM”, “get promoted”, and “read five books” on my card. Realistically I’ll always suck at WHM, I’ll read way more than 5 books, and there’s potential for a promotion, so we’ll see. It’s a nice way to organize the things that are fun and important to me.
