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!!!!)

You are just going to do it. I am prepared for amazing things to happen. Bring it, sucka.
P.S. I have an idea for the retreat.

you know what’s really exciting about this? you basically know what you want to do. reading this made me feel very stressed and excited. we should all go on a contemplative retreat.
