Open opportunities

Congratulations to all of the 2013 graduates! The dreary weather in the District didn’t stop the party for graduates this weekend. Recent grads partied in the city to celebrate their success – cheers to you!

But, with every graduation big decisions have to be made. Not just about the next stage of your career but about relationships too.

This weekend, I was one of those graduates. It was three years coming, but I’m so happy I’m here. In the midst of all of those classes and working hours, I ended a long time on-again off-again romance. My decision came sooner than graduation, but nevertheless came about because of my chosen area for school and career path.   Sadly, it reminded me when Rory’s fantastically romantic relationship ended on The Gilmore Girls.

For many people the direction in which they choose to take their career will make a lot of decisions about their current relationships. My only advisv, trust your gut and stay true to yourself.
