Is Working Hard Hardly Working?

Between class, extracurricular activities, and two part-time jobs, and a full-time job search for post-grad, I feel like I don’t have time to find myself and figure out what I want to do next year. Which makes all this hard work seem less important, meaning I’m lacking in motivation. I can’t just toil in low-level jobs for the rest of my life (although it is very tempting). It seems like university is suppose to be a time to find yourself, and somehow I missed the ship on that. So now I have to cram four years of finding myself into the next few months. The only thing I have truly found out: I don’t want to be an accountant. Good progress.

Begin Again

I’ve never been terribly good at keeping a blog, but I think I’m at a good turning point in my life right now, and it is something I have always really wanted to get good at. So here goes another try! My classes and work schedule are winding down a bit for the next couple weeks (although the following two weeks are hell) so I think this is a good time to get back on track. I’ve been putting a lot of stress on myself regarding the post-grad job search, making plans, and even just going to the gym. So I’m going to take these next couple weeks to get myself back into a good routine – blogging and everything!

Gingervere is the Middle English origin of ginger. Despite being the go-to word to describe redheads, some definitions of ginger are: spirit, liveliness, vigor, piquancy, enliven, and animation.

I'm a 21-year-old student originally from Canada, but currently on an adventure in Belgium for the semester. This blog will follow me, my musings, and whatever shenanigans I get up to while I travel around Europe and occassionally attend classes.
