Using Movies as a Guide for Life

One day I watched this movie called "The Other Guys". I knew from that moment on I wanted to become a cop. Everything just made sense, and I submitted my all my applications as forensic science or justice studies major. Some research later, I realized that I actually don't want to be a cop. I don't want to be anything remotely to a cop at all.  The movie I saw, just had great mind sweeping/inaccurate advertising. I learned a couple important lessons that day. Don't base your life on movies with Will Ferrel and the power of advertising.

Advertisements. They're everywhere and they're actually pretty influential.

Open a magazine? Tons of ads fall out. Go to a gas station? See an LCD screen tell you about herpes. It's unavoidable. There are so many advertisements that just play in the background of my life, and I actually wanted to have some ownership of those ads. I wanted to look around, and say "OH THAT'S MY AD! I MADE THAT. LOOK AT ME. LOOK HOW CREATIVE I AM." all that gloating and what not. Most importantly I actually wanted to to be influential to people and change their lives. 

So maybe the cop idea wasn't so great, but I had found another career course that would still be influential to society as well as changing the lives of people.
