Life and Future Plans

[silverink]

 I recently (well, mid November-ish. I'm only just getting around to posting about it lol) attended an informational webinar about careers in museums and what kind of education you need for that, and I think this is officially what I want to do when I leave college! I've been thinking about museum work as a career option for a while, but I'm pretty convinced now. I love the idea of giving the general public access to history and educating them in a way that's available to anyone. I've pretty much always loved museums since I was a young child, and I want to give other people that same experience and love of history, especially kids. Museums are so important to educating people and making history interesting, and I'd just love to do something related to that! I'm not exactly sure what position I'd want, but I think I'd like to either be a curator or set up/arrange exhibits. Hopefully I'll be able to do an internship sometime this summer to learn more!

Also, I just got diagnosed with ADHD, so hopefully I can get meds and coping strategies that work for me for next semester. I'm going to get a Franklin planner soon, and I really think that'll help with organization for school and life in general. Very excited about having a good organization and planning system that I can personalize! In general, feeling positive and excited about the future <3

It was my dream as a kid to be a museum curator, but I eventually settled on library sciences. I wish you the best of luck! Are you specifically interested in any field or concentration? I know there's a lot of smaller museums that focus on local history, at least in my area. But you seem like a bigger picture kind of person. :)

As odd as it sounds, congrats on your diagnosis. It's one big step towards management of your condition. I hope your organization plans go well!

Aw thanks so much! I've actually considered library sciences a little too tbh XD

And yeah I think something in the bigger picture would be more my thing XD I'm not sure exactly what field I'd want to do, but probably something to do with ancient history since that's what I'm most interested in generally! American history would be interesting to work with too, though.

Haha yeah it's kind of strange to say isn't it?! It's definitely been a relief to know for sure what's going on though. Thank you very much! I hope so too :D And hopefully I'll get my planner tomorrow!
