On May 14, 2011, I ended a chapter in my life. On that day, I sat in a crowded gym for two hours, filed into an arena, sat there for two more hours, and waited for everyone to file out before I could leave. Sounds like torture huh? Well, it was definitely something close to that, but it was a torture I had been waiting for most of my life. That was the day I graduated from college. So now that I officially have graduated with my Bachelore's Degree in Psychology with a Gender Studies minor, a common question passing everone's lips is "What now?"
I feel like my whole life has been leading up to the moment when it would finally begin and now that moment is here. I decided to start this blog as a way to share my adventures after graduation. Perhaps it is also because a small part of me already misses the deadlines, the writing late into the night, and everything that comes with earning a college degree.
Well first on my list of things to accomplish is to earn my driver's license. My parents gave me my own car for graduation, but there's one small problem: I never got my license. While a part of me is tempted to just let my husband remain my chauffer, I realize that most of the careers I am considering do require a license. So for the meantime, I am working at my current part time job as a community support worker until I earn my license and can get a real full time grown up job. :-)
I also plan on accomplishing things I never had time to do during college. This list of items include: relearning to play the piano, reading for fun, learning to decorate cakes, finding more time to cook from scratch, clearing out some of the clutter I have accumulated over the years, learning to bake bread, and working out more. Hopefully i can accomplish all of those and more.
My goals for this blog are to keep a record of my progress. I will try to post one new recipe a week and review one book that I have read each month as well as just general information about my life.
