Recently, somebody told me that between the ages of 23-25, I would experience more of my emotionally depressed learning experiences.  Although the entire Generation X and any liberal arts college graduate in this economy might agree, I would like to believe that any portion of your life could be depressing.
Yesterday, I read (most of) “Who [...]

A One Year Recap

This May marks the one year anniversary of my graduation from college. 
For one whole year, I have driven every morning to work–five to six days a week.  I have gone through two jobs, two promotions, three bosses, five co-workers, and a considerable amount of adjustment.  Is this progress or is this coming to terms with [...]

Liberal Arts Leftovers (self-titled)

Sitting in my underwear in my apartment while typing a blog post, I am reminded of the fact that there are probably twenty to thirty other liberal arts leftovers with some sort of humanities degree sitting in front of their own computer reading or writing a blog entry also.  Actually, probably more than that with [...]

Can I buy a clue, please?

After a discussion I had last night, along with many discussions with other friends on similar topics, I’ve discovered most 20-somethings don’t have a clue.  For that matter, neither do most older adults, but they’ve learned to perfect their quoting of the newspaper to make it sound like they know what they’re talking about.
Us, 20-somethings [...]

Giving Advice About People Who Give You Advice (Advice)

After college, there seems to be this unwritten rule for family and friends to give you advice.  The second you hold that diploma in hand, it’s like you made a deal with the world to get free advice for an undisclosed amount of time. 
People you didn’t even know could give advice come out of the [...]

A Little Less Santa, A Little More Nog

Let’s keep the momentum alive on being recently adult-ish–When you’ve only recently become an “adult” in the eyes of your family, Christmas takes on a whole new meaning.  As a Christmas adult (yes, this is a particular type of adult), one must keep up with names and ages of small children, write “from santa” on [...]

What Can You Do With A B.A. in English? (part deux)

You know, no one ever told me what I could do with my major besides teach or profess (that is, become a professor) when I got out of college.  And even though I graduated with an English degree, I’m still not certain what I can do with my degree.
Recently, I got a new job as [...]

Some Job Advice From an Old Man

As a small triumph in my own world, I have recently found a job that pays $10,000 more than my current job.  And not only have I found it (easy to do since I make slightly more than a Banana Republic employee and slightly less than anyone who works at McDonald’s), it’s now mine.
In two [...]

Grab Your Beer Belly And Float

I am a little ashamed to admit that in all my time as a young adult, I’ve never gone on a “true” float trip.  Of course I’ve been canoeing and camping in my Girl Scout cookie selling days, but never while shouting, “I’ll show you my titties if you give me a beer!” across the [...]

This Person Is Crazy

I just found a page that gives advice to college graduates, which would be fine if it was helpful at all, but instead I found it unintentionally humorous.
The first decision to make after you graduate is pretty simple. What do you want to do with your life? Life after college can be difficult if you do [...]
