REAL TALK! I’m at the cross­roads, Sun­day morn­ing, (gonna miss every­body), in life right now. I’m exit­ing the college-part time job-parents help­ing with rent/school/insurance/etc-not wor­ry­ing about things like insurance-time and enter­ing the holy f-bomb-I need to get a job soon-working-car?-finding a place to live-getting mar­ried–com­bin­ing books–liv­ing time. I really felt this today. Not in a bad way, more like get­ting stuff done like mad. I was gath­er­ing for my port­fo­lio today and real­ized at some point recently I deleted my last 2 years of school work. EVERYTHING! Which is good and bad. Most of it wasn’t that good any­how + I have printed ver­sions of all the good stuff. Also, I have all the stuff from work­ing at UR. (Also, it looks like I’m actu­ally grad­u­at­ing, con­trary to what I found out last week. I shouldn’t speak too soon though…)

Even though there is only 5 (4?) weeks left in the semes­ter, what really hit me was how unpre­pared I am for jobs/interviews. Not because my port­fo­lio is loosely together, but I’m men­tally not pre­pared. I was read­ing How To Be a Graphic Designer With­out Los­ing Your Soul today when I real­ized this. It talked about going on count­less inter­views, learn­ing from the bad ones, etc. REAL TALK!

“HOW TO FIND A JOB”

“WHAT DO EMPLOYERS REALLY WANT”

I will prob­a­bly talk about this a lot more com­ing up, so get ready!!! (i.e. I lost inter­est in writ­ing more because Laura and I are mak­ing gin­ger bread and it’s almost ready!!!!)
