Direction

Current direction: Unclear, undecided and unfamiliar.

The direction I am referring to applies to life (career, goals, "the next step") and this blog.
Not sure what I will be writing about here or where my life is going. The only thing I'm sure of at this point is whichever direction it all takes - it will be an adventure.

I can describe myself in two new ways. As a college graduate and as unemployed. Both extremely different -antonyms, but in the current economic state both seem more like synonyms. At first I was okay with being unemployed. Senior year was such a whirlwind of excitement and constantly feeling like I was moving forward much faster than I was comfortable with. I was looking forward to having the summer to reflect and find the direction I felt I lacked.

Not the case so far. These first two months of summer I have been surprisingly busy for not having a full-time job. Weekend trips to cabins, nannying and babysitting, bachelorette parties, job hunting and trying to enjoy Minnesota's short summers have kept me busy and somewhat distracted. But when I get a moment or two to myself that nagging feeling of panic creeps back. So many loans are coming my way with the very uneven balance of zero job prospects.

This blog is dedicated to reflection on all aspects of life. Friends, family, faith, career, day-to-day happenings and anything and everything in between. Through it all I might just find "direction."
