I graduated in june, and let me tell you I feel SOOO glad to be out of school.

Kinda really sucks being unemployed, but I've got a good chunk in savings + help from parents until I get hired. I'm going to be picking up some kind of temporary job soon until something I can make a career out of comes along.

But even with bills, looking for work and other crap I have to deal with "in the real world", it's nice to be able to cook for myself(and not be wasting money on forced meal plans), have my own 2BR apartment, own some herps(no pets other than aquatics allowed in dorms where I went), have time to go to a movie, I get to get a full nights sleep every night.. Bunches of good things to being graduated.

AND I've dropped 10 lbs from 170 to 160, no real exercise, I just eat as much as I want of my own cooking rather than the crap we got fed on campus.

Plus now I'm doing fun adult things like shopping for an engagement ring, decorating my own 7 foot xmas tree(try fitting THAT in the dorm rooms on campus!), having dinner parties w/friends.. It's pretty great!

Of course hardly a week goes by without thinking that it would be so fun to be back at college again.. but I have friends still in undergrad who tell me about their papers and tests and I feel alright again being graduated.
