Popping my blog cherry

This is my first post ever. Awesome. I am so hip and emo.

I have been working as a mentor for the past month and a half and I am so sick of my life. Because of this, I am constantly focused on my life after college. I feel like I have very little tying me to Portland anymore, so my plans have shifted to places away from the Rose City. I am looking into going to grad school in Dublin. Ever since I visited Europe, I have wanted to live for a year abroad. The Dublin Institute of Technology has a cool graphic design program focusing on being a professional in the design field. It sounds really cool and I think living in Dublin would be absolutely amazing.

My second idea, and one that I have been somewhat obsessed with lately is opening up a frozen custard shop in town. I first tasted the amazing soft serve ice cream when I was in the eighth grade and visited Washington DC. I was only there for a week, but I think we had frozen custard a dozen times. I think it could be very successful in Portland and my buddy CJ is getting his MBA and is all about starting this business. So that would be cool. But it doesn’t get me out of Portland which I feel might be necessary for me.

A third and somewhat less likely option is joining the Peace Corp and working in Central or South America. I think I would really enjoy the experience of working and living in another country helping those who truly need help. But the downside of the Peace Corp is that it’s a 27-month commitment. Seems like it might be too long for me.

Well I still have over a year to figure this out. A YEAR! i know that it  will fly by but it seems like so long. How the hell am I going to last this long in this city?
