As I sit here in my brand new designer jeans (yay!) on Christmas day surrounded by family and watching the dreamy Fred Astaire in Holiday Inn, I ponder what direction my life will take this year and whether or not I will be enveloped by the familiar comforts of home next holiday season. WAIT. If I am going to start this thing I better do it right. I ate too much of my mother's delicious apple pie and changed into some sweatpants. There, I said it. Now you and I can have an honest relationship.
As I was saying, this coming year will be extremely instrumental in that my life will ever again be the same. Scary! Exciting too, I suppose. And I intend to record every minute of it with this blog. There are some college graduates who are lucky enough to know exactly the profession they will be entering into, ready to take on the world. For most, this means ditch the beater car that got them through the poorest years of their life, buy a house, meet "The One," have babies, and I've happily ever after. For me? Well, being an English major and a person of varied talents and interests, the path isn't so defined. I could do ANYTHING once that slip of paper is in my hand, and I can't wait until I take on the biggest and best adventure of my life, whatever it is.
About me: I am a college student at WSU Tri Cities, but I haven't had the typical college experience. I work at a health club, which is awesome, and all of my coworkers are excited to see me enter the next phase of my life. I procrastinate too much, but I am passionate about life and everything in it, and I am used to trying and doing lots of things. I get excited about just about anything, but I stress out easy too. A very close friend of mine once explained to me "the precious present," and I consciously remember that reference often to help me keep a healthy perspective on life. Enjoying my day to day activities is just as rewarding than working my roaring twenties away to achieving my dreams- especially when my future is so obscure.
So what's the plan?
*Get through my last semester in one piece.
*Make a little money to start off the rest of my life
*Prepare for international travel
*Find the perfect career
Sound easy enough? Follow along with me and my adventures this year! Wish me luck!
