i'm going to be a bridesmaid.
now that i've graduated i guess things like this are going to happen more often. i wouldn't mind being the bridesmaid a few more times before walking down the aisle myself. never have i felt so compelled to remain single. i know though that now that i'm comfortable with being oh-so-single things are going to change.
it seems as though the more days that pass by me, the more unsure of what i am supposed to be doing. this is going to sound really dumb and probably quite childish but i have no other way of explaining myself. so here it goes...
remember that part in "Finding Nemo" when Marlin and Dory were on that waterway expressway to Australia where they met the turtles and then all of a sudden they got pushed and it got really fast and super exciting and they were so ready for it? Then once they got out it was this giant ocean and they were all alone not knowing where in the world to go? that is exactly how i feel. i don't know where to go. i don't know what i want to do. i have this degree and looking at it is about the best i can do about now. government. smooth move sarah. real smooth. but once i thought about it, the only major you may be able to do something with is business. how boring. life is more exciting when you sing your way through school or study politics or play piano or speak another language or write so much your hand falls off. so my major wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do seeing as i don't want to go to law school and suffer another couple years of boring monotony and i don't want to move to washington. maybe i do. God help me, i just don't know.
i heard i'm not the only one. it sure does feel like it though. back home and no one to talk to but the parents who tell you to get a job. give me some friends and i won't feel so alone. give me my own place and i would be better off. welcome home. welcome to life after college. God help us all.
