Indie Media

I'm really enjoying this class.  It's pretty interesting.  I've only ever worked with conglomerates and so it's interesting to learn about the other side of things.

I've blogged for the Huffington Post which at times I'm super embarrassed about.  Not because I did it, but more because people judged me so harshly for my choice. My piece wasn't about complaining about my debt, it was more about saying that I knew what I was getting into, but I made my choice because it was what was best for me.  It was what I needed to do, and for me the cost is still worth it.  If I could go back, I would do the same exact thing.

I'm not mad people judged me, I just feel like people took a look at a smile holding up a sign of that much and assumed "this girl doesn't work, she goes to a private school and she has no reason to complain" If they had read my piece they'd know that I have 3 jobs, my private school gave me way more than any state school and I'm not complaining, just worried about the future.
