It was a "girls night out" weekend!
It was a "girls night out" weekend!

This is for all of my fellow Spring '08 grads...A little glimpse inside our minds, if you will:
Graduation Day: "I am going to land the most fantastic, prestigious career! The day after tomorrow, I'm sure I'll be shown my new office and start writing for that hot magazine...I'll be living in the big city in a gorgeous flat! And I'll be discovered! And get paid in advance to write the next great American novel which will be made into an A-list film! I own this world!"
One Week Later: "Of course I don't have my office yet. I mean, I've applied and all, but it takes time for them to appreciate my awesome-ness. And living at Mom's isn't so bad...it's free bed and board...But all that is beside the point. My phone is going to blow up ringing in a second with that job offer!"
One Month Later: "I was practically a straight-A student. I belonged to two honor societies. I was the English Department darling, for cream cheese sake! And the only "industry" interested in me is the insurance one?? I will NOT waste my way with words hawking over-priced plans to innocent elderly people. That's a crime...possibly literally. And don't these big city companies realize that this Iowa girl is as cosmopolitan as they come? Well, urban enough...in the suburban kind of way...I mean, it's gotta be my geographic location that's holding me back...right?"
Two Months Later: "Hey! McDonald's is hiring!"
