Being a College Grad

...is kinda like going through puberty all over again -- minus the hormones and add the need for money. You're, once again, constantly asking "Who am I?" "What's going on with my life?" "Why does this suck so much?" and now you have the added bonus of having to feed yourself and get health insurance!

I went to turn in an application for a job today, and they asked me to stay for an interview. It lasted over two hours and they asked me to come back for two more interviews. I'm calling tomorrow to cancel the second interview. No, the job didn't sound awful, and no, I don't have a better offer...it just wasn't me.

There is comfort in choosing to be untitled and undecided. There's horror in choosing to be something.

The worst part is that I feel awful about having to call this seemingly great guy tomorrow who interviewed me to tell him that I don't want the position I acted very much like I wanted today. Oh well, it was a good experience, right? Experience is all that matters.

Strange, but the song that's playing right now is quite appropriate.

Live through this, and you won't look back

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say...
