What am I Doing? Part 2

After College

Fast forward a year, college is over and I sit in my Mazda that evening with one of my newer friends. A nice girl, Ashlee was her name, whom I met through her sorority sister (who I had a massive crush on). But we were discussing the future. We both graduated that day and decided some drinks and bowling with her work friends was the equivalent of a good graduation party.

If anything it was a great way to signal the end. I came into college a bowler and a hardcore party goer, now I was standing there socially drinking and keeping level headed. I had completely grown up.

I think the hardest part of graduating was not knowing what was next. My girlfriend at the time was one of my better ones. I had been with her through the whole school year and the support was fantastic, however she was no where to be found for graduation. She stayed back home for work. What sucked even more was we didn't go to the same school so it was hard to share stories or advice.

Not having her around wasn't a total buzz kill but it did make me question life. Why on the most important day of my most recent life was she no where to be seen, and why was I having more fun with a new girl than I was my girlfriend?
