I graduated college! Now what?

About three weeks ago I graduated from college...wow! I am most definitely still a kid at heart, so sometimes it is hard to believe that I am 22 years old and a college graduate. I mean, that's all you work towards for about 12 years of your life (if that is what you decide you want), and then in a day it's over and you have finished. Now what?

What is the life of a college graduate like? Where do you go from here? What's next?

To be honest life after college is a lot of hours applying for jobs and figuring out where you want to go and what you want to do. The majority of college graduates do not use their degrees, which was shocking for me to hear. My dad is a prime example, but he loves what he does and I think that's the dream! Finding a job I love is my dream. Find something you are passionate about and do it!

What's next for me? I am not sure, and that's okay because I am 22. Many college graduates do not know what they want to do. Sometimes it takes a crappy job, several interviews, and lots of research to figure it all out. Sometimes you just get lucky and stumble into something you love. It's not about how you get there, but just the fact that you get there that makes all the difference.

Right now I am working at a family business, and I am loving it. That is about as far as I have gotten, but I will figure it out eventually! I am also living at home. There is no shame in moving home after college because living somewhere with free rent is the dream, especially when you have student loans to start paying off. It gives you time to find a job and save money while living rent free, bill free, and getting free meals!

This is the official welcome to Looking Good Gorgeous! I know this is up on a Saturday, but I will be posting every Wednesday instead because that is better for me to be able to make sure everything is up on time and running smooth! See you Wednesday. :)
