#5 Graduated College, now what?



So I graduated from college in May last year. Finding a job in this economy is not very easy, especially if you graduated in Graphic Design living in South Louisiana. I moved back home, after 6 years of being away. Being home is really different for me. It is now at the end of 2009 and I think I am ready to move on to a new adventure. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I am now at that weird point in my life where I have no idea what next for me. I have always been that person who knows what's next. In high-school, I knew I was headed for college, and I thought I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Now after changing majors 5 or 6 times, my life is different and I don't know if that is good or bad. It is both exciting and scary at the same time. I look at my sister, who has married the man of her dreams and is now headed to med school. I look at her life and compare it to my life. Our lives are much different and we have both succeeded in our lives but in different ways.

Last Spring I participated in the Disney College Program. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I would recommend that everyone do this. My family has always been Disney Fanatics; so it was really interesting and exciting to be on the other side of the fense. It was nice to be able to become a Disney Cast member.

Since graduation, I haven't been really looking for a job. I am working at my dad's office, answering phones and filing. For 2010, my goal is to find that job, which would be a starting point.
