So today people return to school and get settled into a new semester. It's really strange that I'm not going back to school too. It's still strange that I've actually graduated from that which is college! I don't feel like I deserved to graduate, even though I did all the required things and 4 1/2 years later, I get a bachelors degree in journalism. But I half assed it and I know it.

I guess it's a good thing I have a new start in Austin. I can stop half assing everything and try to do big things that people take notice of, that people appreciate. But then again, I might just be talking out of my ass.

It's just weird to not be able to identify myself as a college student anymore. Cuz I was a student for so long. And now I'm finished. And now I have no way of identifying myself other than "Single, in my 20's, jobless, boyless, and hopeless." Yeah, fun.

Anyway.

What was Liz doing a year ago?

"I need to challenge myself. It's important that I do this. I have to know if I can do it. I have to know if I can get off my ass every once in a while and do something productive. I'm a senior now, this is my last year in college, and if I can't do it now, I'll never be able to do it. So that's my public service annoucement to myself: Do it. Don't be afraid to show a little effort. Effort is your friend."

Weird.
