Most of us have not been prepared for life after college. I'm now 24 and living in a new city 1500 miles away from home. I often find myself questioning if I am even worthy of being here. If I can even compete against the talent that this city holds. I'm just trying to find my purpose in life. #cinematography #cinematicvlog #livinginlosangeles Social Media: Insta: Aaron_Mercado_Official Snapchat: Mercado_aaron21 Twitch: BusesnSuch TikTok: AaronInLosAngeles Gear: Sony A7IV Rode Mic Mini Audio Technica 2035 Sony 28-75mm Kit Lens Rokinon 14mm 2.8 Sigma 35mm 1.4 Sigma 70-20mm 2.8 AaronMercadoOfficial.com Music from #uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/dan-phillipson/making-progress License code: KOXASMPQ4LJDH5YL

Arguably the most highly anticipated campus tradition, Dakota Days devotes an entire week to showcasing the pride and school spirit that define life at USD. The homecoming festivities take place every October and boast plenty of events for students, alumni, and individuals of all ages.

At the University of South Dakota, we're good at what we do. We were named the best public university in the state by Princeton Review and U.S. News and World Report. Forbes also ranked us the most affordable flagship university in the country. Ask your favorite doctor, CEO, teacher, lawyer or public servant where they got their degree. We bet they're wearing red. And if they're not, they wish they were. 🐾 #YoteLife #WeAreSouthDakota

But published is better than never making it off the timeline, right?
