So its August, the end of the summer following
my graduation from college so the first thing
everyone wants to know is..."what are you going
to do now?" (my answer is usually something
clever like "relax" or serious like "I've gotta
work on my resume then start applying places")
But the truth is, I have a summer job until the
end of August so my mind isn't as focused
on the real world as it should be.

Now I graduated with a degree in Communications but not
in the way most people do. Most people choose a pathway
that leads directly to a career but me being strange did
not do that. (taking classes to become a radio personality,
journalist, television personality, public relations person,
or event planner) I took the "Individual Pathway" which
basically meant that I didn't know what I wanted to do
so I made it so that I could just pick and choose whatever
Communications classes sounded interesting to me.

Sadly I think it's the fear of failure and no wanting to leave my comfort zone that hold me back from taking risks. In my life I've gone for what I wanted and gotten it (yes I've been a little spoiled with first college choice, part-time job choices etc.) so the thought of the real world not spoiling me is a little terrifying. I find that I am a little perfectionist in my own way in certain situations plus I am sensitive and I over think everything so worrying about failing if I try new things is common.
I want to just take the leap because if I don't try then the real world is just going to pass me by and then where will I be? I guess it's time to start being a big girl...wish me luck!
