Post-Grad Blues

So I know I am kind of late on this post (like 6 months late) but I decided recently to get back into writing so here we go!

Six months ago I graduated from Flagler College. It was a wonderful day full of the three basics: family, friends, and food (all a girl really needs). But the parties soon came to an end and friends soon moved away to start the next chapter of their lives. Some stayed near by and others left the country. However, I stayed in the town I had grown to love (and sometimes hate...a girl can only take so many trolleys and horse carriages). I found a part-time job at a French bakery. I figured I would be there maybe a month and then my dream job would present itself to me.

However, I am still at the bakery. I hated it at first because its not what I wanted to be doing but I have grown to love the people I work with and consider them family.

But I am growing restless.I have what a friend and I have nicknamed the "post-grad blues." I have gone on a couple of interviews and the results have always been the same. "We really like you but you don't have the experience we are looking for." I have heard this at least 100 times and each time it sucks. It makes me sad. So I curl up under the covers and avoid the world for a good 24 hours.

And then I had an epiphany.

About a month ago I had just gotten off the phone with one of my closest friends. I had been doing my usual complaining probably driving him crazy (its my talent) and he didn't say much but what he did stuck out to me.

He told me to go live my life.

All I have done is sit and wait for my life to start. I thought you had to have all figured out before life started but the truth is I am missing out.

I live in a beautiful town full of adventures that I have abandoned for Grey's Anatomy marathons.

I am tired of waiting!

So join me on this adventure of fun and patience because this girl is ready to go!
