Trying Everything (why this website is poorly maintained and I'm okay with that)

I'm going into college with a refined mindset, thanks to my experiences in highschool. I call it the "try everything… specifically" mindset. 

In it, I keep an overarching goal such as "I want to improve at verbal communication" when choosing activities, and then jump into as many relevant ones as I can find. For that goal specifically, I joined choir, a speech class, and both of my senior year's theater productions. I started a sort of podcast in my van, and a format of organized familiar conversation I call "Van Talks" in which I can talk to my friends for hours about anything. I've read books and listened to audiobooks about communication. I've worked to improve my diction through games like Bananagrams and the Merriam-Webster/New York Time's games. Everything about my senior year wrapped around improving communication skills, tying into a nice bow with my graduating Valedictorian speech. (Hence my choosing to pursue Human Communications alongside Studio Arts at college)

For college I wonder what the goal will be. Perhaps it will be "I want to improve at idea generation" or "I want to improve at consistency". Of course, I will continue working to improve on verbal communication along the way, but either one of those goals would be able to be structure my "try everything… specifically" mindset. For the "idea generation" goal, I could join the FNL improv comedy group, the art Foundry, and participate in writing and art workshops as frequently as possible. While for the "consistency" goal I could focus entirely on setting habits and sticking to them. Like: journaling every day, working out, eating healthy, reading at a certain time, maintaining a stable emotional availability level (to name a few). Thinking about it, I definitely want to attempt the "consistency" goal. 

I've tried being consistent in art before, but it's a struggle. When ideas appear, they appear suddenly and without warning. Attention shifts are instant. But the motivation can only carry me so long, and some days it is nonexistent. To "draw every day" I would need the time to… and sometimes I just haven't been careful enough to set that time aside. To "journal every day" I feel I need something worthwhile to write about. Working on consistency, I will make sure to work hard on building and protecting those habits.

Speaking of consistent, this website is anything but. The thing is, I don't need to maintain it. I don't need income yet. But maybe soon. What I have so far is an incredible base to work off of. I've written blog posts, I've organized pages on the website, I've sent newsletters, I've worked with the images… I have a base set of skills to improve and expand upon when it becomes necessary. Oh, and I've handed out a whole lotta business cards with the website on it, so anybody who revisits it should be met with something new. 
The time I haven't spent forcing myself to work for money I would just turn around and spend, or to work on an art blog I'd just revise, I've spent learning more- experiencing more- that I can then implement right back into my future job and writing. I’m not trying to rush into a world of stress and payments, and rather am focusing on enjoying the creative spirit when it comes. I’m embracing spontaneity in lieu of consistency for now, but perhaps the college experience will be the habit-builder I need to set me up as a more consistent adult.

but maybe I’ll keep this website sporadic for the fun of it.
