Hello all! So it's been way too long since I've blogged about anything and I've probably said I'll try to get better at that but what can I say? Life is busy!
So since my last blog post in March of 2013, a few pretty cool things have happened to me. First of all, I graduated from Virginia Tech! What what! My degree is in Supply Chain Management with a core Business and IT background. I graduated in December of last year and am currently still looking for job in my field. (any pointers or places hiring are greatly appreciated!) I have a few part time job interviews here in town to start earning some money so I suppose that's good.
Honestly, graduating without a job offer or career opportunity greatly depressed me for a while. I felt like such a failure. I believe I had the mindset that a job will basically find you after college and a degree guarantees you some decent salary. I found out I was wrong. And I was back at home applying and but still deeply unhappy and depressed. And scared! I have student loans that will require payment starting in May and without a good paying job, I have no idea what I'll do. After 22 years, I can honestly say I am ready to be self sufficient and on my own for real. I am applying almost daily for both part time work in town and career opportunities in my field all across the state. I'm hoping that the job that is out there for me will soon find me and I'll find it. I'm becoming more aware that I'm not the only college student to graduate without a job but the program I chose in college had always had a great turnout for job offers before even graduating. I've had a multitude of interviews but still no luck. As long as I keep pushing, something is bound to click and happen.
I also turned 22 earlier this year. I didn't expect to feel much of a difference but I honestly did feel it. I felt that I was now out of college and real adult. And while that isn't what I wanted before, I am becoming more open to finally growing up and being a contributing member to society. Let's hope that opportunity will come open for me very soon.
Around the first week of August last year, I met a girl that has truly impacted my life and given me a reason to smile, laugh, and be more happy about just life. She has truly become my best friend and more and I am so happy to have her in my life. Unfortunately, she lives 1400 miles away and that's been a little hard. But I know that there is a plan for me and a plan for her and our paths crossed for a reason. I'm excited to see where that goes in the future. She was this year technically my first valentine and I'm quite content and happy to know her.
Well I'm not really sure what else to add in this but I'm going to try to blog once a week starting soon. Happy Valentine's Day to all those out there!
PS For all the singles out there hating on the couples or happy lovers on today, I know how you feel and I've been there for many February 14th's. But think about this: You could have no mother on mothers day. Or you could have no father on father's day. Try to be happy for others and know that hate does nothing but destroy.
