For those of you who know me and don’t know that I am not going to school this year anymore–> I am not going to school this year. I was on track to go to grad school at the University of Minnesota for public health. A beautiful and really good program. But after some thinking and answering some hard questions – I decided that taking this year to explore and create and learn outside the classroom had more pros than cons. One of them being the fact that I don’t need a master’s to do some of the things that I want to do.
So – I am in that dreaded in between time. Applying and interviewing for jobs, wondering what kinds of jobs I am even qualified for, and realizing that every choice I make at this point will have a way of shaping my future and career.
This in between time is also kind of exhilarating. I get to create my future, build up what my life is going to be about, find new things to fall in love with and continue learning with a lust for life. This year, once again is not what I would have expected it to be, but I am really excited about what is on the horizon. If I don’t do anything else, I will be perfectly content with making gourmet coffee drinks and writing about nutrition all the day long.
But ya know getting another job would be nice 🙂
Upward and onward.
Check out this article that I wrote about Caribou Coffee. Three loves merged into one: coffee, nutrition and words.
