Article/Blog Round Up!

Goodness! This has been a busy year so far, and we're only halfway through the second month. Loving it!
I've been pretty busy crafting, but I can't post any pictures yet because they are surprises! But they will be posted later, after my trip to Tucson in March!

I've been seeing a lot of awesome articles that I've been saving to read at a later date, and today I was finally able to get caught up.

There are a few I really wanted to share with you...

The Perks of Mid-Twenties

at 9:42 PM 0 comments

While going about my day today I noticed that there are some pretty awesome perks of being 26. So I thought I'd blog, since my last one was about feeling nostalgic and lost. I don't want people to think that I'm a "Debbie-Downer," after all!

But to start it off, I want to backtrack a bit...

Why Limbo?

Why Limbo?
It's a word that's been bouncing around in my head lately. My graduating class grew up believing in a couple main ideas.

1. We could grow up to be anything we wanted to be; to do anything we wanted to do.
2. If you graduated from high school, went to college, and got a degree, you were guaranteed a job.

The truth? Even with a college degree - even with added certifications on top of a college degree - jobs are harder and harder to find. And finding your ideal job, or even a job that makes enough to allow you the leeway to start a family, is next to impossible right out of college.

And so, here we are. Working jobs that almost help our careers, empathizing with shows like "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Big Bang Theory," apartment hopping or living with our parents, and just generally waiting for "the real world" to happen.

We're a generation of people in limbo between students and adults ~ and most of us don't quite feel like we qualify as the latter.

Originally I titled this blog "My Life in the Middle of Nowhere." I planned to write about the job I started in September 2011, teaching in [literally] the middle of nowhere. Things came up, and by the time I got ready to put some effort into this blog, I realized that writing back-dated stories about my interesting, albeit slightly off-kilter, job just wasn't what I really wanted to do.

Then it turned into more of a craft-blog, but I always intend to add other content. I started adding educational stuff - lesson plans, crafts, notes about seminars, and stories about my experiences in limbo.

So if you're lost in limbo, know you're not alone. I'm here too. Maybe we can figure this place out together.
