About one year ago I created a blog named "The Recession Proof Blog." That blog was a way to write about the stress I felt while job hunting during a recession and to vent about what was happening in my life. Then, I found a job and things started to change. Some things changed for the better and some things did not. As my life began to change, I neglected that blog. I consider myself a writer and I want to get better at it, so I will not neglect this blog.
It's going to be my one year anniversary at my job soon. I'm an Editorial Associate at a local magazine. Although, I feel very fortunate to have this job, I'm still looking for a new one. The pluses of my current job are: It's in the Writing/Public Relations field, which is what I want to do as a career, the commute is fifteen minutes,it's a steady paycheck, I get to work with a variety of people and I get to do something different and hopefully creative every day. The minuses are: Although the commute is great, I don't want to be in my current town any longer. I am going to be 24 this year and I'm ready for a change. I'm ready for a new adventure.
Another big minus is that I don't feel as though I'm learning any new skills (I want to get better at Illustrator, Photoshop, writing, etc.)and I am the type of person who is constantly looking for ways to get better at what I do. So, I'm optimistic that with the experience I have gained through this job I will find one that is best suited for me and where I can make a difference in this world. No matter how small or large that may be.
That's what this blog will be about, my life and what happens in it. It may not always be exciting, but I know I will always have stories to share.
