The Post-Grad Life

Life after college graduation is .. pretty anti-climactic for me, to say the least. I'm still in Berkeley working a job that's paying me fairly good money but for crappy crappy hours. I'm slightly jealous of my friends who got to go on the East Coast for internships and jobs, livin' big city 9-5 lives while I'm stuck in smalltown Berk (yes, DCho & KChou, I'm pretty jealous I'm not in NY right now like you!!!).

But that's beside the point. This summer is more of a transitional phase for me more than anything. Time to get my money right and do last-minute things in Berk that I didn't get to do in 4 years (haha). It also allows me to be closer to my love who's in Sac, but a 1-hour drive beats an 8-hour drive ANYDAY.

I've been actively perusing job listings to see what the market is like.. As a recent graduate I don't have much experience in the law-related workforce, so oftentimes the places I could apply to are limited. But it's all good, it's part of the experience. It's a scary thing, putting yourself out there for everyone to judge whether you're worthy enough of a job or not, but c'est la vie, n'est pas?

On the bright side, I've been having a fairly awesome summer so far. Just had an awesome weekend in San Diego with my bestfriends. Got super tan too! Now I'm just Berkeley chillin', doing the active job search thang, etc.

I ALSO BOUGHT TICKETS TO HAWAII FOR AUGUST! I'm super excited; I've never been and now I get to go with my boyfriend and 2 of my bestfriends. I'm so lucky (:

Anyway, that's all for now. My life is boring but I guess it's just a sign that I'm growing up. No new news to report, except that my work life is chill as I'm coming correct with my finances, my love life is AMAAAAZING, my friends life is also awesome. Life in general is good, BLESSED more than anything.
