Quarter Life Crisis

First off - I am not into self-help books. That aisle, the one with the crying women, and the overexposed anonymous, is my equivalent to publicly branding yourself as the dude from the fallsview casino lucky seven commercial.

That being said, I am a single twentysomething female, in my last year of university and about to start the rest of my so called life. Going to university, including the couple victory laps, has been like living in a bubble. I have lived, slept and breathed school. I am a nerd. Not a geek. A nerd. Top of my class naturally, but pretty darn close to the bottom of the social totem pole. While I love my program, and chosen field of study, I fear I have become *boring.* I wasn't always like this, but having to relive your glorified past at my age is pretty pathetic.

So, I am on a search for a fabulous life. Call it whatever you want, a bucket list, finding a hobby, a quest, suiting up, by the time I graduate, I want a life outside of work and school. Granted my timing couldn't be worse (last year of school + two part time jobs doesn't exactly leave a lot of spare time), my budget is non-existent, and this will most likely be pretty humiliating. But, I am determined.

So, I am going to suck it up and get a couple books as jumping off points. God help me.
