It’s the morning after getting home from college…It’s over. I’m done with college. I’ve thrown the cap, worn the robe, and smiled for over a thousand pictures in one weekend. Everyone said that I would feel the same after graduation and it wouldn’t hit me ’till later. So why do I feel like shit right now?
Is it because it took me a day to figure out how to connect to the internet at my parents and I have hours of unpacking to do? I think it’s more of I need to be a real person now and my excuses for not getting things done could get me fired or put in jail for tax evasion instead of a dock in my grades. (Sidenote: I’ve graduated…do I still need to check my grades? seems pointless.)
So I’m going to spend the next few days figuring out why I feel like shit. My parents said it might because I don’t have a job. So if someone would like to give me a job send me an email at bendavid18@gmail.com. Remember I’m awesome with technology, a genius, speak 12 languages, and my starting salary is a million dollars.

What the hell? Why is eveyrone a professional all of a sudden? Everyone is getting business cards and fancy resume paper. Did I not get the memo? Clearly, I was left off the email list that is telling the graduating class of 2008 that they need to get all this crap.
Literally, all of my friends have been showing me all their new files, databases of contacts, interview stuff and cards for a week now. I don’t get it. I don’t think I’ll need this stuff at the internship; but maybe I will.
Honestly, I’m too young to enter the real world. Nerves are definitely setting in. Moving to the other side of the country is freaking me out almost as much as the news that I’m going to have to start figuring out taxes and insurance. And what the hell is home equity? Do I need that?
Wanted: A time machine. If you’re out there. And you have this. Please send me back to freshman year. I’m not looking forward to the future…

This is a direct quote from my commencement packet. “Commencement, a ceremony that traces its traditions back to the Middle Ages, is also a joyful one that we hope you will remember in the years to come. As your ancestors marched forth, so can you as we celebrate this joyous occasion.”
The Middle Ages. Really? So they all just took a break from the Crusades and the Hundred Year War to put on a cap and gown and take a picture with the family? I think not! This blows. I do NOT want to graduate.
