So it Begins
It's been just under a month since I graduated college, and it's been an odd feeling to say the least. The quiet that comes with being back at home in this sleepy suburban town, waiting for companies to get back to me to tell me whether or not I'll move forward in the job application process feels like major mental whiplash compared to being up at school. Especially during my senior year, it felt like there was pretty much constant activity, whether it was friends, events, school work, and so on. When I was a student working on my 3D modeling and game dev projects, it always felt as though I had a purpose to work towards, something that demanded structure from my day and made me feel as though my creations were benefiting others in some way, particularly in group projects.
Now? Well, my days kind of have structure because if I don't give myself a schedule I'll probably lose my mind, and I do in a way feel a sense of purpose through personal projects, but it's just not quite the same. I suppose it doesn't help that the job search really exposes just how weird our current situation is, when so many of the jobs postings you find are fake, or involve having to talk to an army of AI chat bots over the course of your application process.
Given that I have extra free time at the moment, I figured this would be a good opportunity to pursue an idea that I've thought about for a little while, which is starting a somewhat daily blog. For now I'll shoot for posting at least 5 days per week, and I'll likely be writing about various interests, hobbies, and projects I'm working on. I truly do enjoy writing, and I'm excited to do more of it each day, and ideally be able to connect with others while doing so.
Thanks for reading, and have a great day 👋
