Well, for starters I hate my job now, not that its a difficult job it is just boring drone work that chimpanzies could do more efficiently. I recently graduated college and put myself on the job market. Finding a job I will love is going to be a lot harder than I have previously thought. I just want a job where I can use my creativity and dedication productivly, is that so much to ask? Majoring in art wasn’t exactly a brilliant idea but I don’t expect to find a job where I can sit around and “do art” anyway, let alone get paid for.

My first job at 16 for 2 and a half years was at skate Station in Orange Park Florida. a few years later I came skating with my nieces and was invited back as a manager. now after a year and a few months I have learned so much about people, things i probably would have neve learned or been exposed to any other way. sometimes it gets really tough, most of the time its fun. I deffinantly know its not something I wanna do the rest of my life. it takes a specific type of person.
I graduated in April, now that I look back it went by sooo fast. When I was in school I thought it would never end and I swore once I was done I would never go back. Now, for the first time in my life I am in no way a student, and I feel like part of my identity is gone. I just realized that no longer am I working day by day to get by, I am working to survive and make something of myself, trying somewhat half heartedly to prepare for the rest of my life. I think I might go back for my masters.
