Do one thing every day that scares you. Eleanor Roosevelt

Decided to change it up a little this time.  Here are some of my favorite quotes with pictures from my adventure to the beach today!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  H. Jackson Brown Jr.

So you just graduated, you must be good at rejection..

I’ve been back in the states for about two weeks.  The main goal has been getting unjetlagged and then looking for a job.  When the whole job thing doesn’t work it usually means I help with sawing logs into lumber or moving said logs something along those lines.  One day last week I went and visited my college it was a very strange thing to be back there.  It’s strange in general to be not in college actually.

I was one of those confusing students for everyone in the science department. I ended up an environmental science major by default mainly because it was science and I figured I could find something I would like to do.  Boy was I wrong or at least until this summer.  Every aspect of my major that I was exposed to (with the exception of GIS) I could not see myself doing as a career.  To say confusion and a feeling of lost dominated my college experience when it came to finding a job would be an understatement.  Being back at Castleton knowing what I wanted to do was amazing!

It’s a very new place for me to be in.  Now almost four months behind the rest of my friends I am joining the job search, and it sucks!!  I have gotten so used to rejection that I don’t even want to apply for jobs anymore for the fact I know I will get rejected.  Luckily it’s winter hiring for summer rangers, temp employees and the like isn’t very high so I get to enjoy what will hopefully be my last winter not being a full time permanent employee doing something I love.  I know that my ambition will likely go down before it climbs again but I will eventually get a job as a ranger some how.  It may be years from now but I will do it!
