As a senior graduating college with a Journalism degree, it's about damn time I get a blog.

The class of 2009. Quite possibly the worst time to be graduating. Who knows, maybe the class of '08 had it worse because they didn't know what was going to follow in the fall. Either way, I'm graduating this May, in an economic crisis. Not to mention as a journalism major. Breaking into a dying work force, in a recession. For some reason I don't feel as scared as I should be. Or at least as my peers. I know I'm going to have to work exponentially harder than say, the class of 1999 to get into the work force, but I'm accepting the challenge. There's something out there for me. I hope.


What comes after college, is what I am afraid of. Where will I live? Who will it be with, if anyone? I have moved past the point of relying on friends to my make own plans because that just doesn't make sense.

Not to mention I'm losing my health insurance after I graduate, and I have the ever-so-dreaded-by-new-insurance-companies "pre-existing condition." Just an eye problem that's going to need attention. I will cross that bridge when I come to it, I suppose.

How's that for an intro post?
