Life- a constant transition

Transition is defined as : (Webster's Dictionary) passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another : change. I have been thinking about this a lot this summer. Starting with leaving college in May 2009, I did graduate. You graduate and leave a place you've known for at least 4 years with friends, second families, work places, school, and 'homes' (whatever you lived in during college, we all have our college house stories). To go out into the 'real world' and do it all over again. Side note: I have also thought it is very interesting the concept of dorm roommates. I mean isn't it funny that if people can't get along in society as far as politics, organizations, companies, families, etc., then why do we expect individuals from all over to be put in the same 12' x 12' room(i have no idea how big they are, but small is good definition), for 9 months. I personally had an ok, first roommate. She wasn't ever there and I had 4 other suite mates to get to know. Also being a pretty positive person (I think) she was really negative. I have heard worse stories, but I just think it's interesting. Back to transition, so with graduating college I feel the higher education system is lacking in helping prepare for the 'real world'. For me, finishing with a Music degree and a minor in business administration, I feel I needed more help in how to search for jobs, in the area of websites, what to look out for, how to really sell your resume, etc. I am not saying I'm not willing to work hard and search myself, because I am and have. However, all your life you go to school, go to school, and then the next you are supposed to get a 'real' job. Besides that May 2009, was probably one of the worst times to graduate college, I felt unprepared to face the job search. But on the other side there is only so much you can teach or be taught before you need to just learn it yourself so, I am partially glad my life has turned out the way it has. I have definitely learned a lot and am constantly learning new things about, well everything. So going from school, to my parents while job searching, then to Grand Forks for a very temporary position, and now in Minneapolis to a new job with TreeHouse.....transition. While working and living in Minneapolis I kept thinking that I will soon feel settled, and not so busy or scattered while living out of boxes, finding a new church, friends, and getting comfortable at work, things change. My internship was over, found a different place to live, was searching for jobs, nothing came through that, except a temporary offer at TreeHouse. I took it. I will be at TreeHouse for the next 2-4 months full-time as a Youth Outreach Specialist. I am so very thankful for this position however it left a lot of questions for me. What am I good at? How can I show that to others? What do I want to do with my life? etc. Almost back to square one of thinking before going off to college. Through all of these transitions and many more, I am learning that life is a constant transition. I don't know if there will ever be a time where something isn't changing. Either I am changing jobs, or new friends, starting new activities, or friends are leaving and moving etc. So, Life = Transition.
