I'm an adult now.

I graduated from the wonderful institution known as the University of Minnesota - Duluth with a degree in English which means I am going to live a glamorous life reading literature, writing a blog, and drinking coffee from wonderful parts of the world every single day for the rest of my life. Alas, the real world isn't like that for all English graduates - let a lone any percent of them really.

I can dream, right?

Everyone is telling me, or asking me, to get into teaching because I'm such a nice, caring person who could shape and mold young minds and prepare them for greatness. I believe that could be me one day, but not right now. I could see that happening in the future though when I have given up on my dreams of hitting in big as an independent publisher in some awesome city like Denver or Seattle. Don't get me wrong, teaching would be great as long as by the time I start doing that I have done something that I loved doing and have at least one cool by-line.

I just got engaged to one of the most incredible people that I know and couldn't be happier about it. We moved into a cute, spacious two-bedroom apartment(duplex) and I get to decorate, yay! Finally, all of my boards on Pinterest are becoming more useful and I don't feel like a crazy person for "decorating" my future home and "planning" my wedding!

Mr. Fiance works at a clinic doing software development things, programming, and other nerdy things that I only sometimes understand. I should have gotten into that field - they are always needed and make good money. He has a good job here but the job market on my end isn't really looking that awesome so I am going to either take some more classes or work a retail job - or as a barista - full-time, or at least part-time, until I can find something more related to the last four years of hard work I've done.

Hopefully I can continue blogging since I have all this free time!
