you know how kids always have to GO when you're going on a trip...but don't tell you until the car is in motion?? that is preeeeeecisely how i feel right now.
back story:
'destination corner office' is going to be about my life as a 22 year old Christian woman, recent college grad, proud girlfriend, and ex-grad student.
sounds boring. i know. but i promise you, it is NOTHING like what you are expecting.
the journey started back in 2008. i was trying to figure out what in the world i was gonna do with my life...especially since my Godparents were so insistent that I did, and let me know they were NOT gonna pay for me to live out my dreams (be a singer, actress, whatever...we'll get to it soon). so i started looking into my options. when i started undergrad in 06 i was gonna be a teacher...never really wanted to (i have mad love for teachers, i just wasn't feeling it for me) but i tried because my Godparents were pushing it. too much. so, that lasted a year.
i changed my major to communications in 2008 (i did a year with no major and just did gen ed classes in liberal arts) and then to mass com a bit later that year. i loved it, and later declared my focus area would be video production.
that was cool. i enjoyed it. but i never really knew what i wanted to do. so, back in 08 i was just tossin around options for after graduation. find a job? grad school? didn't really know what i wanted to pursue but I knew I had to do s o m e t h i n g...
being too talented is a curse. i'm a writer, singer, arranger, coordinator, facilitator, dancer extraordinaire and food enthusiast just to name a few (i'm not arrogant though, i really have a problem, i can do WAY too many things). i really started to consider grad school, because it was just the (apparent) best option especially considering my circumstances (i'll get to that later, too). so in 2010, i applied to B-school. i decided i wanted to study HR. and that's when my life fell apart........
needless to say, this is going to be the journey of a lifetime...literally. i believe God does everything as a part of His divine plan but it's kinda up to us to make sure we are trying to seek Him for what that is. i felt like i was seeking...apparently, i need to seek harder. at this point in life, i'm ok with that.
so, anyways, i feel like the 3 year old who has to pee...i really shoulda said something about having NO CLUE what to do with my life a L O N G time ago. i know i'm kinda late but...ya know...i figure i'm still breathing, might as well start now. by the way, i'm sure that kid still has to pee.
until whenever i post again,
~srm~
