The “Real World” – One Year Later

Standard

I can’t believe its already June. 2011 is flying bye. It’s already been a year since I’ve graduated from college. Crazy. I’m amazed by how much I’ve grown in these last 12 months. The last 5 months were particularly a period of change. I’ve gotten involved in many activities of interest. Some I’ve stuck with, most I’ve not. This process of trying new things reminds me a lot like college life. In retrospect I wish I had been more involved while at college. Exposure to new activities, people and ideas fuels personal growth. After a year out of college, I’ve realized that variety is really the spice of life. Of course it’s important to have that foundation to rely on no matter what, but it’s really through the new encounters that life brings that really makes life worth living. I just hope that in the remaining months of this year – and really for the rest of my life – I don’t lose sight of this notion, and slip back into a humdrum routine.

One Foot On Sand – The Journey Begins!

Me, blogging? Again!? I know, I know, some of you may be thinking why blog, and why now?

Well, to express myself – obviously. In addition though, I’m blogging as a way to improve my writing, to discuss my thoughts and opinions, and also to get your feedback! Sounds like a typical blogger. Perhaps? But here’s why you should follow my blog…

For as long as I can remember, I often found myself sounding either too formal, too convoluted, or simply at a loss of words. I’m hoping that by reading this blog, you’ll be able to get a different perspective of who I really am, my interests and passions, and what I’m really thinking about.

So what do I plan on writing about? A number of things. But first, I should probably talk about what I won’t be writing about – namely, my day job. Although it’s great, this blog will be used as a sounding board of my thoughts and ideas outside of work.

So now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I hope to use this blog as a journal of sorts as I continue my journey in developing my mind, body, and soul as a twenty-something. Hope you stick around and find out! Thanks for reading!
