Now What?
I feel that we are defined by our educational experiences. Think about it, we start out in pre-school and kindergarten learning how to leave mom and dad for the day. It's the first time we have to listen to someone else and interact with other kids. This big step leads to junior high and high school. When we take a deep breath after high school graduation, we move on to college life. Completely different and completely life changing, for those that experience it.
I went to Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. My B.A is in Communication Arts: Public Relations and Electronic Media. I lived with the same 7 girls for 3 years, was really involved on campus, didn't stress over grades in the traditional sense but overall, it was a wonderful experience I feel lucky to have had.
The "last day" was really rushed. None of my roommates had packed up, we intended to stay as late as possible.. or at least until Res Life kicked us out. The day itself wasn't very memorable.. except for the football player who puked during morning rehearsal. I could not wrap my mind around the fact that it was all over. Unless I chose to go to grad school, this was it. Weird.
Since May my friends and I have talked about the "weirdness." For example, the entire month of September I kept feeling really guilty but could not figure out why, until I realized it was because I felt like I had be skipping 3 weeks of class. Life without the papers, group projects and campus life seems so out of place but that's how post-grad life is I guess.. we all feel out of place for a while.
I decided to create this blog for those feeling out of place or reflecting on their twenties laughing at my naivety. Either way, I welcome the views and comments and I hope you enjoy.
