The Great Unknown

With graduation only months away, me and several of my friends are faced with that pesky and simultaneously devastating question that we cannot possibly ignore for much longer: "Now what?"

As a kid in high school, my life plan seemed obvious: Graduate with a good GPA, get into a good college, graduate from that college and then it would be fancy living from there on out! With a diploma in hand, doors would swing wide open all around me and it wouldn't be longer before I found myself in a cushy job with a respectable apartment and my own top-of-the-line espresso machine.

Now with the countdown widget constantly blaring at me from the lower right hand corner, I discover for the first time in my life that I have no plan for myself; that I'm just going to have to just go with the flow...

Move back home or try and find work in town? Go to grad school? Internships and part-time nanny-ing? Run off and join the Peace Corps? Run off to Quebec where they're always hiring?

Life has never been more terrifying and exciting.
