Let’s play a game: Two truths and a lie…

1. I’m really enjoying my post-grad life living at home with my parents.
2. I got an internship at a very well respected and well-known Public Relations agency.
3. I know exactly what I want to do with the rest of my life.

I’ve always gotten along with my parents; they’re my best friends (to some extent, not to worry). Living with them after college wasn’t out of the question, and to me it seemed like it was the best option. And so it goes, 7 days a week I live at my house, trying to find that balance between social life, boyfriend time, and family togetherness. I’ve struggled to realize I’m not completely on my own anymore. I have to respect the rules my landlords have put in place, the time they’d like to spend with me, and the spotless room I have to keep. I make my own bed, don’t do my own laundry (most of the time), cook dinner every Monday, and do some chores. It’s the least I can do when they don’t make me pay rent.

So moving on. It’s fun to play games to get to know people especially those you just met at a new fast-paced internship when you’re scared out of your mind, hoping you won’t make a mistake or have a dull moment, or even those lax 15 minutes when at the end of the day you have to do the ‘time entry’ and for a solid 15 minutes you have nothing productive to write. Well, I haven’t experienced that yet considering it’s my first day and I wasn’t given specific assignments to do other than “get to know things” around here. I can tell you that I’m so excited to be doing the projects I’ll be working on, meeting new people and hopefully networking like crazy. This internship, maybe, will make me realize what exactly I want to do with my life…

My next point, if you chose number 3 as my lie, you receive a gold star. I’m fresh out of college, and yes I’m at a PR agency, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what I want to do. I have new ideas, I have dreams and goals and desires that I can’t quite sort out. Get your head out of the gutter-- I want things in my life, I want to do things in life, but don’t know what those are yet. I’m sure I’ll figure it out. But until then…
