This is the story of a girl...

I've decided and pretty much have been for a while anyway, that all non-fic related entries will now be friends only. Soo... before you decide whether or not you want to friend me to read all the stuff I post about that isn't actual fic, I figured I'd make a post that is probably long overdue about myself.

Well, since you're my only LJ friend, it's nice to get to know a little about you. =P We actually share a lot of similarities. I'm also 22, I worked in a bookstore for almost 4 years up until a few months ago (although, I will probably go back soon for part-time work). I haven't put my degree to use either, so I'm actually applying to go back to school for a teaching certification in January and hope to be working by August. I'm a bit nervous about it, tbh. I also consider myself a bit of a nerd, a tomboy, and a wishful thinker.

Anyway, just thought I'd say hi. :)

Wow, we do have a lot in common. What did you do your degree in?

Yay for getting to know LJ friends! Hi back! ;)

I got it in Biology. My parents were pushing hard for me to go into healthcare because it's stable and pays well, but I just never really wanted that for myself. I didn't (and still don't) really know what I DID want, though, so I just stuck with something I did well with just to get out of school in four years since I had a scholarship.

I have a degree and still have no idea what I want either. I just feel like we're young and we've got a while to make decisions about where life will go. *shrug* *crosses fingers* at least, that's what I'm hoping.

Yeah, when I graduated in May 2009, I told myself that I wasn't in a hurry and that'd I'd probably take a year off and just relax and try to figure things out, but that year ran out and I wasn't any closer to figuring out what to do. I try to tell myself that I'm still young and even if I do make decisions about things, it doesn't necessarily mean it's forever, but I still feel that pressure to start thinking long term. Plus, it kinda sucks not having enough money to support myself on my own. It seems even worse when everyone around me seems to have their shit together, also.

I tend to over think things and induce anxiety, though. I'm trying to just go with the flow and try new stuff and hopefully that big something will unveil itself eventually. Things could be a lot worse, I guess.
