College Grad Lessons

College Grad Lessons is officially one month old today. While College Grad Lessons is still very new, I’ve already had the opportunity to meet some great people online, interact with friends I don’t see very often, share a bit of what I experienced since graduating college and much more. Thank you to everyone that has been reading so far.

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to join 20 Something Bloggers, start Twittering and add a bit to my site’s layout. This is just the start of what I hope College Grad Lessons will become over the next year. When College Grad Lessons is 1 year old, I hope that it will have developed into a resource center and support network that college students and recent graduates can trust and rely on for information about life after college.

In the future, I hope to develop an organization that goes beyond this site and works to prepare students for graduating college, working and adult life. While college career centers work to prepare students for getting a job after college, there seems to be a lack of personal development programs that prepare students for finding housing, creating a budget and finding a work-life balance. In my opinion, one of the easiest ways to learn about life after college, is to talk to college graduates that work in the profession you’re interested in, live in the city you might want to move to or have some other similarily. My hope is that College Grad Lessons can be the start of building this sort of mentor and support network.

Thanks again to everyone that has been reading College Grad Lessons so far. Please let me know if you would like to get involved! Also, if you’re interested, you can follow me on Twitter @erin_stewart.
