First time for everything

Here's my first blog post since ninth grade. Ready?

I figured if writing is my passion and if writing is what I want to do for the rest of my life, I should actually do that every so often. I'm having a problem getting over what a blog was in high school: "omgz so Chris came over and we made out and we're so in love and OK quiz time!"

Hopefully this will help me get over that so I can actually put my worthwhile thoughts out there so they don't get lost in the jumble of my brain.

Let's see if I can keep this up.

The only thing I can think of that's minorly interesting is how terrible graduating college is. Yes, OK I did it in four years and I graduated with Honors and horray for me. But, I feel like this isn't my time. I'm not ready to start a career. I'm not ready to be 21 (well, OK everyone's ready to be 21). It's this overwhelming sense of not belonging anywhere. Maybe it's because I'm not anywhere. I'm in limbo. I see all these back to college Target commercials and I just get so depressed. Being a college student was what defined me; I put it on job/internship applications. Current position: Student. What am I now? Job-seeker? Living-at-home-indefinitely-PLEASE-hire-me? My-mom-still-cooks-me-dinner? I-still-have-a-curfew? Nope, none of those are options. What am I now? An other?

Actually, that's kinda cool. Silver lining - I'm an other.

Blog posts will start to get more interesting as I learn/find things to post.

Catcha on the flip side.
