The start of a new life

Tomorrow I graduate from Texas State University-San Marcos. It feels like only yesterday that I was graduating High School. While it's totally exciting thinking about what the future holds, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared. I suppose not knowing what's going to happen is half the fun of life.

Anyway, one thing that is for certain is that I'm ready for a change.

I've got my new website up and running. I've started the new blog. I've got new business cards and a fancy-pants new portfolio. I have a fresh desire to be successful, along with a new shirt for graduation tomorrow!

Everyone keeps telling me that the economy is dreadful right now and it's near impossible to get a job. Encouraging words for a new graduate...

Getting a job in this field is a little different, anyway. You really have to advertise yourself to a prospective employer. You have to do it in a way that they will remember; one that's not cheesy or lame, and will get your foot in the door.

I know what I'm going to do, and all that's left is to actually make the things and send them out.

Wish me luck!
