Am I supposed to be proud of myself? Because I'm not. Majoring in German is quite possibly the most ridiculous decision I've made in... well, quite some time. Paying 80 bucks for an N'sync concert is up there though.
It's a bad sign when the German office manager asks you what you plan on doing with your degree and your only response is some sort of explosive noise of laughter and disgust. It's even worse when he laughs and tells you "That sounds about right." Then he went on to tell me that it's a good thing I'm a double major. Uhh, awkward moment of silence...
He followed this up by telling me that just having "the ol' sheepskin" will open up a lot of doors. Nice save. I hope he's not joking. I have been told this by a few other people so there must be some element of truth to it. All I'm hoping is that I fall ass-backwards into something that pays moderately well before too long.
So basically I'm very excited to graduate tomorrow and even more excited to start paying off my student loans. Oh well, I guess its too late to change my mind now and in my own defense if I had it to do over I'd most likely make the same choices. Maybe I should just be happy to have had the chance to waste four years having fun, meeting cool people and studying something I enjoy. Right?

Congratulations Morgan!! Enjoy your day and don't worry too much...it'll all figure itself out eventually :-D
Wish I could be there with you to celebrate!!
I've been excitedly paying off student loans for 5 years now -- and I will excitedly pay them off for at least another 15 years more...
you mean you'd make the same mistakes. I probably would too.
