Looking back, I always wanted to be a copywriter. As a kid, I was so fascinated by commercials that I would take my television bathroom breaks during the show instead of the “normally scheduled” ones. I was constantly creating new jingles, writing scripts, and making my littlest pet shops reenact them.

I always thought it would be cool to make ads when I got older. However, my 10-year-old brain said,

“That can’t be a real job… it’s too fun!”

It took me longer than I’d like to admit that my child self was wrong.

What’s even more embarrassing is that I can thank this career track to Rick and Morty. If it weren’t for the dad and his “Hungry for Apples” campaign, I wouldn’t be where I am today. So, I guess, thank you Morty’s dad?
