Why I blog.

I always knew I would go to college. I didn't know where I would go, or what I would study, but  i knew getting a job would be way easier if I had a college degree. So I ended up at the University of Oklahoma.

 I have summed up my college experience with the picture below. 

It took me 5 years to graduate. Took a victory lap. Almost dropped out a few times, but in the end I got my degree. I was all set and ready for the real world!

I was all high and mighty until I started looking for jobs. I got turned down everywhere. I mean everywhere! I applied for over 70 jobs and never landed one of them. Even McDonald's didn't want me! I would go in and the managers would say, "you're not qualified to do this job." or even worse, "you're overqualified for this position." So? They passed up someone who could have turned out to be the best damn burger-flipper in the midwest. Their loss. 

I gave up hope. Maybe I was destined to be a bum and lounge on my parents' couch all day, sipping on high-fructose corn syrup and rotting my brain with television. While a lot of people fantasize about being able to do nothing all day every day, it got old fast. 

My life had no purpose. I had seen literally every episode of Law and Order: SVU ever made. I had to do something, and quick! before I ended up turning into one of those 40-year-old women who live with their mother and her 5 dogs with Papa Johns on speed-dial who has to be lifted out of the house in a crane. 

So I had my girlfriend call in a favor for me and I landed an interview with one of her buddies. 

I got the job!! Go me!

It does tend to be a BIT on the dull side however, so in efforts to prevent myself from getting fired because of this...

I started this blog. Its colorful, perfect for ADD, and helps pass the time so I don't go completely insane. 

Just in case you were wondering. Which you probably weren't. 

Tough toenails.
