After Graduation?
I started this blog as a graduate student in an effort to write about how I was doing everyday life. I was supposed to write to keep myself sane. I didn't have time for that. Now that graduate school is over, I can do whatever I want...after work. I'm just not sure what to do. I'm not great at anything except for school. I have been thinking since graduation, which was nearly a year ago, what direction I want this blog to take. I don't expect to make much money from it, but I want to write about something that I enjoy. What have I been doing since grad school and what do I want to be doing?
1. Working
I have a full time job, and I was lucky enough to get to utilize my degree soon after graduation. I enjoy my job, but with it comes stress that I need an outlet for in my free time.
2. Blogging
I just started blogging again today. I thought I would never enjoy reading or writing again after grad school, but I finally feel like I can get back to normal.
3. Crafting
I have spent a great deal of time writing crochet patterns and crocheting. I've also learned some new crafts that I would like to share, like etching metal and glass and using a Dremel. I have begun working toward some home organizing and DIY home decor. I'm thinking about going big and crocheting my own rug.
4. Financial Endeavors
I have finally begun learning about investing, saving money, and working on several sources of income. I could start blogging about my financial endeavors: what I do, when I open new accounts, apps that I'm using, and how much money I'm making from it.
5. Home Organizing
I have no idea how I acquired so much stuff with so little money, but there's stuff everywhere and it needs to go somewhere. I am by no means an expert at this. In fact, I suck at it. But I would be happy to share my learning experiences with the internet.
I realize that my blog is not a niche blog and that I need to narrow my subject matter, but I don't know which direction to take it. Theses are basically the only things that I really know how to do. They're certainly the only things that I'm doing for fun. If my next blog posts are about all of these things, I'm working on narrowing it down. Now that I have time...and a little more money, I can't wait to get started writing about my new life. Feel free to comment and let me know what you'd like to hear from me.
