Ok, so first off I want to introduce myself. My name is The Recent Grad (although techincally I haven't graduated yet--but will be in a matter of days). I'm 21 years old, will be receiving a degree in Business Administration with an International Concentration, highly fluent in Spanish, more than anything a focus on Mexico (Did this really happen to me? World economic crisis? Swine Flu? Why Mexico? I still can't swallow it...), love soccer, watching the History channel, and a resident of Claycord (for those of you who don't where that is on the map, fear not, visit Claycord.com). I have some good work experience (to the potential a 21 year old can have) average grades, fair looks, not single, and a great family. I've never blogged before and am making an effort to do so. Who knows...maybe when I'm not a recent grad anymore the name of this blogs will change (Perhaps The Recent CEO?). In any case, I'll be blogging about different companies, the employment process, job hunting, rejection, success, you name it. Heck, for that matter, I might even meet my future employer here.
Now to the point. Given the above, I mean, what else could a recent grad want right? Wrong. Most of us have been through the whole "college graduation" process. A time of happiness, excitement, joy, and all the other words that spell out to be a sense of gratification.
Of course, this is just the way college graduation is supposed to be portrayed! Because if it wasn't, colleges really wouldn't exist! Nobody would want to go to college and then graduate only to find out they are in debt and jobless! Not a pretty picture is it?
Unfortunately in addition to all the things I have been blessed with in life, I have also been cursed by our wonderful economy, debt, and no job.
In all honesty though, I do get a sense of gratification from completing this long coffee-redbullish-allnighter-Journey. It's great to know that I have completed a journey, that, from what I hear, only 20% of the US has.
Well, I think that introduction should do it. I mean, who wants to hear a recent grad complain about how bad his life is?
Thanks for reading, hope you find it interesting. Trust me, it's not all that bad.
I'll be keeping you posted on my journey from here on out.
Stick around and spread the word if you think you'll find it interesting or find yourself in the same position or know someone else who is.
Sincerely,
The Recent Grad
PS I'll probably be doing this after every post to keep humor alive, YouTube.
