Graduating, New Job, New Chapter

I graduate next Saturday with my bachelor's degree in Public Relations. I'm pretty excited. (I'm not excited that the ceremony is at 9 am.) My family will be here on Friday and staying through Sunday. I'm also excited that I just started my supervisor's job at the Harry Meyering Center. So far the job tasks added aren't too much, but I can see if I don't attend to them that they're going to pile up and then that's going to make it rough.

I didn't think that I would be saying with HMC after I graduated, but with the economy the way that it is, I can't really find anything in the field that I'm graduating in. Seriously, I looked. All the entry level positions are going to people that did have a job and then were let go. They get hired over me because they have the experience and they are willing to take the pay cut just so that they have a job.

I'm sticking with HMC for three reasons, number 1 it's a job and one that I love doing. Number 2, I love my co-workers, they are awesome to work with and finally number 3, I get health insurance. Isn't that sad? I'm excited that I'll have health insurance. Now I definitely feel like an adult. For now, I'm content and that's all I can really ask for. To me contentment is happiness, in a simpler form and I'll take simple any day of the week.
