3 Weeks Till Graduation

That's Right... 3 weeks from today I will be an official graduate of UW-Madison. Needless to say 3 weeks from right now I will probably also be under the influence...but that's another blog in itself.
Graduation, as most of senior year has already done, makes people in your life ask you "so what are you going to do?" Even strangers ask you that, people you sit next to on a plane, or the drunk guy you meet at the bar. It's a daunting question, especially for people without much plan. It can feel a little embarrassing when you have just finished 4 intense years of college and then become a full time bartender.

But really, I don't care. I have my whole life to work in an office or sit at a computer. I may not make the most money, but I'm only 21. I want to be successful, but I don't think being successful necessarily means putting my degree to use, at least in the way most people would expect. I believe no matter where I end up in life, I will be using aspects or knowledge I learned from each class I have taken in school. That's part of the point of college right? Get a well-rounded education so you can be adapt to all sorts of jobs, not always being pigeon holed into a specific field.
