About My {so-called} Mediocre Life

I started this blog because I was thinking about my life and how I got to where I am right now. (I know, off to an explosive start….just keep reading.)  It wasn’t the most uplifting place, but this writing comes from a slightly different place. Positive, yet snarky with a pinch of disenchanted realism. Remember when you were a wee child with stars in your eyes -- you know, when someone asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, you had some amazing answer like a prima ballerina, an astronaut, a cowboy, the president or even a race car driver. Well, then you grew up a little, went to college and those dreams maybe turned into a dance instructor, an engineer, a police officer, a local politician or a transportation specialist. Then four years out of paying thousands of dollars for this degree to kick ass and take over the world, you actually ended up as waitress, a security guard or a chauffeur. Maybe you are right dab in the middle of your graduate school application. Fudging your achievements and schmaltzing up your personal statement. Well if you are, I am in the exact same spot.

This blog isn’t purely about bitching and whining, but if you don’t like it, feel free to take your milquetoast personality over to some self-help resume builder.  This is more of an open forum. I like to find humor in the disillusionment of growing up, and I never use it as a crutch not to succeed. In the meantime, while I am experiencing the bumpy road that is called young adulthood, I hope to laugh at my struggles, learn from them and connect to others sharing the same absurd realities – hopefully giving them some hope for a less mediocre future :) 

So now, you can stop secretly dvr-ing Intervention and Hoarders to satisfy your sadistic need to feel superior in life, and stop on by and share in my ridiculousness.
