And I'm Back

After a month long break from the blog scene, I am back. A lot has happened since my last entry. For one thing, I graduated! That's a sigh of relief. But I also had final exams, went to beach week in Myrtle Beach and then of course there was graduation weekend and three week trip to Europe. Maybe graduating from college doesn't mean my life is over. We'll have to see.

This summer I hope to share with you what it is like to be a college graduate making the transition from the college world to the real world. Though many people choose to hang around for their last summer, mine is packed with things to do. It's helpful to make a sort of laundry list of things you need or want to do during your last three months of freedom (although for some it may be just a few weeks). My summer will be spent figuring out where to live, figuring out my financial situation (a budget would be nice), working at an amazing summer camp and basically just making sure I've got everything in order for when I move to Washington, D.C. in August.

Lately I've found lots of good lessons in the ordinary happenings of every day. My three week adventure to Europe with two friends opened my eyes to the way others do things and what is acceptable in other cultures, which is really important. As I get closer and closer to my official "start date" I notice more and more how everything relates back to business and hope I can offer up some good advice to make your transition a little easier or at least show you that life after college isn't all that bad...yet.
