It’s that time of year again … graduation time. I can still remember both my high school and college graduations. Each time, I felt like I was so ready to get the hell out of there. And now that I’ve been out in the “real world” for nearly 10 years, I don’t know why I was so anxious. High school and college are wonderful … but it’s only when you’re out on your own and you have to start taking care of yourself that you actually realize it.
Here are some goodies that I would’ve LOVED having back when I graduated. They would’ve made the horrific transition into working full-time a little more tolerable 🙂
