Fear and Loathing After College Intro Blog

Hello, greetings and salutations! How are you doing this fine evening? Good, Great, Grand! Now that I got that out of the way, this is the very first thread in what I hope to be many in this experimental blog that I have decided to call “Fear and Loathing After College.”

Who am I? My name is Chris Allen, and I am originally from Fairfield, Connecticut, later Clinton, New Jersey. I have always told people that I am from both places, and that I proudly “double-rep” to get the best of both worlds. Don’t get discouraged by those seemingly inconsequential details, but I can go on now that I’ve said those brief introductory details.

I am currently 23 years old, and I recently graduated from Quinnipiac University in May 2008—well somewhat recently, seeing now that it’s March 2009. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism (the “pen”is mightier, Trebek), as well as a minor in Business Management.

After I graduated last May, I wasn’t too worried about the real world. I just had the four best years of my life in college and made a lot of good friends, and they were one hell of a cast of characters, but that’s a different story all in and of itself. I digress. So I had my diploma, and was ready to take on the real world. I decided to take the summer off from any serious job hunting, as I still occasionally worked for my dad. So I going to put the job search on hold until I turned 23 in early September. The next six months are going to have to wait until tomorrow, as it is now almost midnight.

It was short, but I wanted to get my first blogger post done before bed. I will be back tomorrow to write a longer one stating my goals, objectives, and other things to do with the blog. Bear with me, as this is a learning experience, a jump-off point to hopefully bigger and greater things.
