Uncharted Territory

Obviously it's been a while. I've turned 23 most recently and been on the prowl for a new job (hopefully career) lately with little luck considering I have no idea what I want to do in life anymore. I am amazingly good at doing research and oddly enough I actually enjoy it. Unfortunately, knowing this does not make the job hunt any easier as I also enjoy working in Human Resources as well as doing marketing and advertising. I wish that there was some way to put all of these amazing things together into a ball and make it my career without having to go back to school for a few more years and figure out what I'm doing with my life. If you have any suggestions for a grad with a B.S. in Anthropology with minors in Archaeology and Entrepreneurship who loves to do these things...just let me know. ;) I'm all ears. I sincerely dislike that our society seems to be forcing us to choose what we want in life when we are so young and un-knowledgeable about the world. How is anybody ready to choose what they want for life when we have so many years ahead of us (with the exception of horrible tragedies)? Why do universities not have more co-op programs so that we may discover what we enjoy? Why do majors require that we do the boring non-major stuff first rather than jumping into our "career choice" in order to find out whether it's the right choice? Okay, I'll get off of that soap box! Next up....Obamacare! Honestly, I'd rather pay more in taxes like Canada and get "free-but-not-really-free" healthcare. It would cut out the majority of my worrying throughout the year and people would be in much better conditions throughout the U.S., theoretically of course. Instead, I am getting booted from my work insurance because they think it will be cheaper for me to go through Obamacare. Unfortunately....that doesn't quite seem the case without using ALL of my premium tax credit which would very possibly put me in the position of paying it back if I happen to make more income for 2014 than I expected. Is anybody else having these problems?

Introducing the Magnificent Me!

Hello readers. I'd like to introduce myself so here it goes. The name is Sky and I'm in my early twenties. I've graduated college and so far made nothing of myself. I have a dog that my parents have forcefully adopted thanks to his inability to enjoy new places and people. I have five siblings, two of which I have regular contact, one of which I talk to on birthdays and holidays or when he needs something, another that I don't and will probably never again speak to and lastly one that I am now forever unable to speak to due to the grasp of the great beyond. I also have a boyfriend who tends to keep my company the most for some insane reason. I enjoy a little bit of everything and nothing. I have many great acquaintances and few good friends. Tie that to my lack of public high school and my parents ability to drive me around so that I could hang out with people for extra curricular activities or just blame it on my inability to keep friends. I'll let you decide on that once you get to know me a bit better. I am not a big partier, in fact I have only been drunk once and never done any drugs. I get this sensational craving to just go out and dance my feelings away but in reality, I seriously cannot dance. It's tacky white girl dancing at its worst. I love music of all kinds and miss going to concerts. It's been quite a while since I've done anything that I've truly enjoyed and I'd like to work on that a lot. I have a huge fear of being disgustingly boring and easily forgettable and I can see it coming true before my eyes. I hope that this blog will be my telling of someone climbing out of this boring shell that I'm in and having the light of excitement touch my skin. This will not be an immediate change, nor will it be me reporting something amazing everyday. Real life isn't like that to my knowledge. Sometimes I'll just report about how boring my work day is or how frustrated my boyfriend makes me. If I can talk about something that was truly memorable and happy to me a couple times a month, I'll feel accomplished. Let's see what happens. :)
