Quarter Life Crisis

It's been quite awhile since my last blog~ I would like to say THANK YOU- to all of my readers! Who would of thought that my blog would reach people in over 10 different countries? Every where from Africa, India, Germany, France, just to name a few! And in a small amount of time has reached over 1,000 views! That is quite an accomplishment to me. I apologize for the lag time, At the time, there was so much going on. I was doing two internships and trying to write papers, presentations and other final projects while trying to keep my sanity all at the same time.

At the end of the day--I really love having a very busy schedule--it keeps me on my toes. I am always asked during interviews how I handled such a busy schedule. My answer is when you have so much on your plate--you physically HAVE to make time & prioritize!

With school now officially over--I am left with way too much time on my hands & I really feel like less is getting done because of it! I am in the process of finding a new job. There is nothing more physically frustrating than the process of looking for a job. Apply. Wait. Pre-screen. Interview.Wait again. Repeat Process

Right now I am going through a quarter life crisis (let's be honest it's not a mid-life crisis) or maybe a more accurate term would be the 20 something blues. I am the type of person who has always had my life planned out. In high school I planned my entire 4 years the moment I could. When I went to college--you bet I had all 128 credits mapped out so that I could complete 2 majors in 4 years. Graduate school--same concept.

Somewhere down the line, on my map towards life, I some how forgot that life does not always go as planned. I didn't map out the areas where I needed to re-route. Graduate school goes by so fast. A year ago today I was moving to Chicago to start out my life and soon start school. Today, I am trying to plan for next year at this time. I have a reached a fork in the road, and I am very unsure which path to go.
