Taking myself seriously

As my time as a student comes to a close, I have begun to think of what the rest of my life could (and, in a way, should) consist of. I have known for a long time that I have no interest in practicing law - much to my father's chagrin - but the next step from there is asking myself where I want to go. I want to write, I know this, but what kind of writer do I want to become? How do I go about this? What do I do if I fail?

I oftentimes giggle about and downplay my interest in writing, which is a great disservice to myself. I am also failing to study more about writing, preventing myself from becoming better and, therefore, remarkable. I want to graduate from university with bravery and conviction that will leave me with no regrets.
