Contemplating our life over Coffee and Pie (a tart lol)

Career changes require a lot of thinking.

And a lot of thinking requires caffeine and the occasional slice of cheese tart.

Jacky and I have different dreams (or rather the same nonexistent dream, does that still count?).

But we know we want to do something for ourselves that can support us in the future.

Here is a list of some of the careers that we have come up with:

Foreign Language Teacher
Accountant
Middle School Teacher
Elementary School Teacher
School Counselor
Web Designer
Makeup Artist
Real Estate Agent
ESL (abroad)
Hospitality management

This is probably not all of them. But can you see how we obviously have no true goal? That doesn't mean we don't want to have a passion, we just haven't found one.

College is officially ALMOST over!

So its finally here. The feeling is bittersweet but has been culminating for nearly three years now. Jacky and I (and I speak for the both of us) are graduating! I say this with some sadness because it means, as cheesy as it sounds, that a new chapter in life must begin. Whenever you mention that you are "graduating", this next question is sure to be asked, "So what are you going to do after graduation?" I dread this question. It makes me uncomfortable to think of the future especially when I am unsure of it. To be truthful, it has been something that I have been avoiding for the longest time.

I can think of many things I would like to do but then it hits me...I am not actually prepared to do much of anything in the real world. Sure, college was educational. I learned a lot. But its knowledge that is useful in a game of trivia not knowledge that can help me in the "real world". So now I am faced with the dilemma of trying to find my place in an ever competitive market. I hope this revelation occurs soon or else this is going to be a long summer of thinking and thinking and thinking but not doing.
