Dear Diary

When on a once in a lifetime vacation, it is certainly necessary to document every minute of it. That is why my girlfriends and I decided to have travel journals to write about the progress of our trip and all of the funny things that happened. Reading them on the plane back to the States was quite entertaining.

Similarly, in my current relatively bored state, I am thinking of starting a post-college journal. After all, this is a huge transition, one that all graduates must eventually make. Although this blog is somewhat of a recap of my experiences, it doesn't do justice to the everyday details of starting your career and becoming a grown up.

Journals are used by all ages. Don't pretend like you didn't have a diary growing up where you wrote about your latest crush and the gossip going on in Mrs. Kelly's fifth grade class. Well, career journals are also popular. Perhaps more sophisticated and mature than fifth grade, it is a great way to monitor the progress of your career and keep track of all the people you have met through the years for networking purposes.
