my recent trip to my college hometown of Santa Barbara, has made me slightly nostalgic and reflective...so things i have learned in the past year, post-college life:
.education begins with graduation
.finding out what you don't love is easier than finding out what you do
.everything is a lesson learned, and sometimes you learn them repeatedly.
.try to stay busy
.listen to good music
.be observant of your new surroundings, pick out the good and bad and notate for future reference
.you are the only one that can change if you are unhappy
.stay positive, but don't be afraid to complain
.complain to the right people
.set small and big goals, reward yourself when each is met.
.keep in touch with friends
.being independent could be lonely, but it is important
.be ambitious, but not entitled
.if you are nice to people and they are not nice back, it doesn't matter...that is their karma, not yours
.eat healthy and smile often
.exercise at your own pace
.the real world is full of cynical, jaded people... always remember how you felt in college;naive and idealistic :0)
these are things i have learned,some are not yet in full practice. soon...
i like excersize at your own pace...I'll remember that one. ;)
