(The most important rule everrr) Always have fun no matter what. You don't have to struggle just to be big. 2. Learn to be professional and learn to take rejection. Me, I'm a cancer >_> I'm pretty sensitive but these kinda things we all have to learn to do. When someone critizes your acting or what you do, don't take it as something to look down upon. Listen to what they have to say--they could be right and it could be something you can work on. 3. Stage fright: This is completely normal. Sometimes I get stage fright as well. Well...have you ever watched Hannah Montana? Ever seen the episode where she's warming up? And she goes Ang Ang Ang Ang like a dog? xD Well always try to lossen up and relax before performing. It calms the nerves and let's you focus. 4. Breathe. Probably the most important rule. If you ever feel like you're forgetting a line, take a deep breath. If you can't remember your line just continue to act the emotion. 5. Practice. There are many actors/actresses out there. Many your friends and you can have a little fun and act out a movie. You guys will be practicing and sharpening your skills when you don't even know it! 6. Be a social butterfly. Actors have very outgoing personalities, so why not you? Try talking to people more, start conversations (even with your friends!) don't be afraid to smile. This will definately boost your confidence and break through the shy barrier. You should never give up. If you get rejected, try again! (= Trust me. That's just 1 of the 70 auditions that you will get turned down. The other 69 are up to you. Advice for the photographers Submitted by Arjuna Capulong To photographers out there: If you're planning to be a photographer as your future career, you'd have an advantage if you start some kind of small business early, like now, or whenever you think you're ready (as soon as possible, however). You can then start building your reputation as a photographer, while getting the gist of running a business. It's a pretty good experience, overall. ALSO! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about barbizon or anything of the above. There's still more to come... |

I want to be a teacher but teachers don't get paid enough for what they do, so I plan on getting an additional degree in guidance counseling and I want to get either an associate or bachelors degree in graphic web design. Right now I'm working on getting a bachelors degree in English [major], with education as my minor, then go back to school to get a double masters in English and Guidance counceling.
Tip: The more credits you earn from school, the more annual income you'll recieve. |

I'm going to study to get my bachelors of science degree in photography, either at the art institute of Philly or somewhere closer to home.
That's the practical side. The dreamer side hopes to get published in National Geographic someday as a nature photographer or a photo journalist. I've never tried the latter, and I get really excited when I think about trying new things, or shooting in other countries. So basically, I don't know what kind of photographer I want to be yet, but I know I don't really like doing portraits. |

Yeah, being a teacher was always on my mind. But my parents don't really support it, so I guess its back to being a Vet.

I am taking my prereqs for nursing. Once I get my degree I *hope* to go to Penn State for forensics so I can be a forensic nurse and do AMAZING things.
I will get to assist in autopsies, work on a police force as a crime scene investigator, take rape kits at hospitals, or just work as a nurse and get paid more than the other nurses I am pretty excited. |

Don't hate. It's a lot of work, especially when your boyfriend is as accident-prone as mine. |

Okay, so my career planning took a little turn. I took a big interest in science and I hope that'll make it easier for me to become a pediatrician or a veterinarian.
All I know is, I wanna make a difference in ze world.
