I can honestly say that I never thought that I would be blogging ever in my life. Now what I say will be viewed by anyone who wishes to read it. THATS CRAZY.
So, where to begin? Well being a student has its many ups and downs. Last week was crazy for me, dealing with crazy assignments that I really didn’t have a clue how to complete. Lucky for me I have some good friends and teachers in my course who really want me to do well. Thanks guys.
I can’t help feeling as if I am slowly getting trapped in a learning curve that kinda scares me. I’m going to be 21 with a real job? No one else finds that the least bit frightning? Most of my friends back home are still worried about thier parents finding a bong under thier bed, not finding a full time job.
Don’t get me wrong, this year has been amazing on so many levels. I’ve met some awesome people, shook hands with some really inspiring individuals and heard some great people speak about thier jobs and what they consist of. Thats cool, being able to listen and learn from others and not just my teachers.
I hope that I do find my way, and this feeling of being lost among the crowed dies. After all, I wouldent be the first one to feel these feelings would I?

I can understand to a certain degree where you are coming from. I’m 23 and I will be jumping into a career. It is terrifying knowing that I will no longer have to only have a summer job, but something that will last longer than four months.
It’s also a really good feeling. I mean, just think about it; no more school and no more studying.
Sure formal education is a great experience, but just think of all the wonderful people you will meet and all the wonderful places you will visit all thanks to your real job.

Being another of the 21-year-olds in this program I feel I should weigh in. I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about. But the way I see it, as a younger person I may be able to offer a business run by older people new insights on how to connect with youth.
Whatever, lets go have a beer.
