I love my homemade tree. Who knew it was so much fun to make Christmas decorations out of construction paper?

My mom called me the other day to inform me that I received an AARP application in the mail. Something as silly as that makes me feel young because I'm barely shy of 24, but there are times where I feel incredibly old. This usually occurs when I have had a bad day at work and the realization that I am doing absolutely nothing with my life is so incredibly clear. I've been reading old entries from my sister's blog and mine and most of the time I feel like I'm still the same person, but in a new city. It's so easy to have high expectations and dreams when you are just getting out of college and your parents still pay for everything.

So I'm attempting to do something with my life and I'm going back to school to become a paralegal. I feel good about it and I hope this feeling lasts. I want to use my education that I worked so hard to get for four years and that does NOT involve RETAIL!
