I just graduated this year with a degree in biomedical sciences and I didn't really have a clue about what I wanted to do during my bachelor years (The curriculum covered literally everything very briefly). I love human biology (diet/neuroscience/embryology), but one thing I also really love is writing and reading. I've always loved writing, and found science journalism to be really fitting for me. My question is, what can I do now (I'm in a gap year) to move towards my goal as a science journalist?

I recently decided to join this subreddit and I thought about sharing multiple success stories I've had with the LOA.

Snapchat notif

When I was just starting out, I randomly chose a guy from my class and started affirming that he would send me a snapchat. We never spoke before on snap and we were not friends at all. One day before I went to sleep he sends me a snap with a birthday filter (it wasn't my bday) and we had a conversation before I decided it got boring and I cut him off.

Concert tickets

I have multiple success stories about concert tickets tbh. This one band I really love announced that they were visiting my country, but when I tried to get tickets I failed to get them. I thought they were sold out, but before the ticket sale started I already told myself I was going to see them no matter what. So, even when I didn't get a ticket, I still affirmed that I would see them. And guess what, my mom texted me the day after the sale that she randomly checked the site for tickets and there were still tickets available all of the sudden. She bought them immediately because she knew I wanted to go, and I ended up having a great time!

Another one regarding tickets is about selling tickets. Around 2 years ago I bought more tickets than I needed because I wasn't sure whether or not my parents would be able to win the ticket war (it was a super popular artist). I ended up purchasing too many tickets and didn't think much of it because I was so confident that people would want to buy the tickets due to high demand. To my surprise, another show was announced on the next day, and suddenly my tickets weren't so high demand anymore. When I put the tickets on sale no one bought them for days, but only after affirming twice (and also forgetting about the tickets for a while) I got an email saying that they got sold. There were around twenty other tickets on sale, but surprisingly only my tickets sold so I was very happy to get the money back that I spent on the tickets.

Relationship

This is probably my biggest success story yet. Around three years ago I really wanted a boyfriend. I scripted out his personality traits, his appearance, literally anything you can imagine I scripted out. I thanked the Universe and put the notebook away without thinking too much about it. Fast forward a month later this new guy joins my class and we don't really have a lot of interaction. I did think he was really handsome and whenever he walked past me I just kept thinking "You'll fall for me, just wait." (I know it sounds really corny but I was young and I really did affirm this way). I didn't want to chase him because I knew he would come to me if he was the right guy, and he ended up dming me first. We started talking and all my friends were hyping me up saying that it was so obvious that he liked me. At parties he would always glance at me and we would be talking all by ourselves in a random corner. Even when I left him on read (when the conversation was over, not out of nowhere) he would initiate a conversation with me. Only after we started dating did I find out that he had literally all the personality traits I scripted and I was quite surprised to read all of the things I had written because they described him so well.

I really hope this helped all of you in this subreddit, I am still to this day heavily involved with the LOA and everything has worked out so well for me. Please do not doubt yourself, you are powerful and the things you want will come to you if you believe in it!
