Musings of a college graduate

Every year I like to look back at my blog and read over everything I went through. Here are the first paragraphs from the first entries of the month. It’s been a rough year but at least it ended well.

January: Out of Site, Not Out of Mind
“One night, the Musician and I were laying in bed. In all honesty, I can’t remember what brought this particular subject up but I do remember him moving in closer to hold me. As he held me, he said, ‘Maybe we’re just two lonely people.’”

February: Picture Post
“I turned 24 this weekend. Woo!”

March: This Post-Grad Life: Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself, Girl
“A great article my friend sent me.”

April: Picture Post
“Dinner Tonight! Fettuccini and broccoli with homemade alfredo sauce. Sides include: sauteed brussel sprouts with goat cheese with sundried tomatoes and brusectta. I miss cooking like this. I want to cook like this all the time! However, I do not have the time… all the time. :(“

May: Picture Post
“Work on a Saturday? At 9am? Yes. I can’t wait!”

June: Picture Post
“Participating at ARTS (A Reason to Survive) with the kids. I titled it, ‘I speak of Love.’”

July: Picture Post
“This weekend I had a much needed get-away to Temecula for a wine tasting tour with my friends for a birthday celebration. Friday night was emotionally draining. Luckily, I had some amazing girls and yummy wine to help sort through my feelings. Definitely the best cure for a broken heart… or rather, a bruised ego.”

August: The Older Version of You
“Lately I’ve been thinking about how I got myself caught up in this situation. I mean, there was a time when you wanted to be with me and that made me excited. You would send me these emotional emails about your feelings and how “one day” we would be together. It was something you wanted.”

September: “Every line is about who I don’t want to write about any more”
“And it’s true. I’ve been avoiding anything dealing with writing because whenever I start, I end up writing about him. I hate to quote Brand New but it had to be done. I drive past his house every day and everything I’m listening to right now is him. The beer I drink. He was constantly a text away. However…”

October: Picture Post
“Just got back from my trip to Hawai’i. I have a lot to talk about. Updates soon.”

November: Second Interview
“On Friday, I was called back for a second interview. I was a little upset because I was telling my friend the day before how much I dislike second interviews. Second interviews mean panels, panels mean future coworkers who don’t have any supervision over me. Basically, it’s a popularity contest. “

December: Honesty.
“You may have stopped loving me, but I will never stop loving you. That’s the most honest I’ve been in a couple of months… well, since the first Friday in August.”

This next year will hold so many wonderful things for me, I can feel it. I hope everyone has a safe and fun New Years Eve. I also hope the next year brings nothing but happiness for you and your family. Now, let’s go drink!
