Graduation Day

Welcome! I'm trying to share and develop ideas about business, politics, and government. I would love you're feedback - please comment if you have any thoughts, questions, or suggestions - It will really help my thinking and writing get better, and our ideas might come together in exciting and unexpected ways. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I can’t believe it happened. It should feel very weird leaving UF and all the friends I have made, but I guess it doesn’t really feel like I won’t be going back. Maybe in September when some of my friends will be attending classes it will sink in.

I have the sneaking suspicion that it will take longer. I think that is the biggest adjustment I the real world will bring – everything will take longer. After school, you don’t go from freshman runt to super senior in a measly 4 years. Some people work a lifetime and never move out of an “entry level” role. The amount of time it takes for change to happen increases. Life slows down and time speeds up simultaneously – days fly by but each one is less remarkable and brings less “newness” with it.

I want to make sure I don’t fall victim to that creeping stagnation. I don’t want to look back 10 years from now and see that I have accomplished nothing, wasted my time, or lost touch with the people I have come to love having in my life. I think the following goals will help me do that.
