Second Day!

Today is my second day of blogging.  While I fully don't expect to blog everyday, its always good to start strong, right?

So, a bit more about me.  I graduated this past May from a college in New York City.  All through high school and college I had a plan for my life: college, job in the big city doing something editorial, etc. etc.  Well, so far, I've got the college part down.  But with this whole recession thing, the big city job is a little slow in coming.  Thus, I find myself, five months later, living at home, waiting tables, searching every day for new jobs on the Internet.  It is starting to get a bit discouraging.  What happened to my plan?!?

I suppose, in some ways I've always been a planner.  I've always had an idea of how I'd like my life to go. So, in the long-term, I like to plan.  In the short-term, however, I am much more open.  Anyone close to me can tell you, I don't like making plans too far in advance.  Sure, we can hang out this weekend.  Oh, what time?  I don't really know, yet...Can I let you know?

Perhaps I should try to be a little more open to my career goals, a little less plan-y.  That way I will be less discouraged with this whole situation.  So, my NEW plan:  Plan less!  I will take this time to enjoy not yet being an adult, truly think about where I'm going with my life--is my plan what I really want, or am I just sticking to it because its a plan?  This sounds like a time for a little bit of good-old-fashioned soul searching.  Boo-ya.
