The last 6 months of my life in a nutshell

A lot has happened since I've posted in here consistently. My job search took me from August till late November with little, if any success. I did receive an offer through an internship I completed, but it wouldn't start for a while and I needed something a little more permanent. However, it was the ONLY thing I had going for a long time.

"The market is rough" is an understatement. I tell people I applied to 90+ positions (which is actually true) and only received 3 interviews over the course of 5 months. Three! I actually applied within my field, and as far outside of my field as Reception, Social Services, and Human Resources with no luck of course.

Finally, I got lucky when I scored an interview with a major company. It was a long hiring process but I finally got hired, YES, I got hired. And it's a wonderful job too, it's in my field, with a company whose values are everything I value. Perseverance works.

I graduated with over a 3.0 but not by much. A 3.08, but it was hard working, coming from a college education laden with ups and downs. When I think back to my first year (and how crappy I did), I can't help but be in shock. But I guess anything can happen when you put your mind to it, I'm really starting to believe that.

My semester GPA was 3.45, just .05 short of Dean's List. Maybe I shouldn't have skipped so many classes, haha. Seriously though, one of those six classes received a grade far higher than even I anticipated...which means I actually did better than expected. So I guess it was all meant to be...

Now I'm graduated (POST GRAD), employed, and excited for the future. It's like I want everything to happen now, now, now and I need to learn how to slow down. I don't know whats coming, but I'm loving life after college...I can't wait to see what's next.
