As a College Grad...

As a College Grad, I am truly one of the most selfish people in the world. Think about it. Everything that I do in my life is for my own enjoyment or for the sole purpose of completing the goals that I wish to accomplish. I came back to Arkansas to live with my friends. I want a job that will lead me closer to a more professional career. I want a perfect boyfriend who can later become the perfect husband, who will by definition, fulfill all of my desires.

Within this whole experience, there is no thought as to what I could do or be for the sake of others. For instance, shouldn't my attitude resemble something more like... I want to move back to Arkansas because I want to be there for my friends. I want a job that is the most beneficial to society as a whole. I want a boyfriend so that I can work on becoming a better girlfriend and a better person for him.

Even here. Even looking at this last paragraph, it is still looking at what I want. I am at the point in my life where all of these decisions have to be made and it seems like choosing what is best for me is the right choice. But is it really? If we left these choices up to someone who knows us better, wouldn't our lives turn out to be unexpectedly exciting and possibly rewarding?

As a College Grad, I think about myself far too much...
