One month. That is how long it has been since I made the big move to the beautiful state of Washington, but more importantly also how long I have been searching for a job. For someone who has worked since they were fourteen, not having a job has been interesting. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy sleeping in and watching pointless TV just as much as the next American but it's discouraging. I'm not alone, of course, I'm joined by close friends and millions of Americans in the search for a job. My college degree isn't getting me much credit in the real world and my "lack of experience" is weighing me down.
Don't worry, it isn't my plan to use this blog to complain about my lack of a job but instead to document my thoughts, my dreams, and my experiences in this time of my life. Right now my life is a clean slate. This is exciting and frightening all at the same time. As I've discussed with many of my close friends, I am so very thankful for this time in my life. I get to be a little irresponsible, and as adventurous as I'd like. So this is my plan- to push myself to take some chances and have some fun along the way. On this journey there is no experience necessary.
"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
