I graduated just over a year ago. I had this great picture of how I wanted the future to be. I didn’t have an exact plan but I knew what I wanted to do and where I wanted to be. Do you know what happens when you start planning out every year of your life? You fail at it, because let’s face there’s lots of uncontrollable situations that are determining your future.

If you would have told me a year ago where I would be right now I don’t know how I’d feel about it. I’ve never been more unsure of what I want to “do” with my life, but I’ve never been more happy. I have met some wonderful people this past year and I am loving being back in my sweet Chicago home. Second City is my first love and I don’t know where I’m going with it, but I am having a blast improvising with new friends.

I am just going along for the ride, no clear plan in sight. And you know what? Life is a lot more enjoyable this way.
