Hubris: (n) Excessive pride or self-confidence.
Not a single person told me that I would learn more in the first six months that I was out of college, than I would during my entire five years in college. Sure, I knew that I would learn different things, common sense things, real world things and those dreaded "grown-up" things. However, I have learned more actual knowledge since graduation day and I have liked it. I don't miss college one bit. . I walked into college on the first day with a lot of HUBRIS. I thought I had it all figured out, my plan was to graduate in three years and start my life. Well three years turned into four when I changed my minor, and four turned into five when I decided to stop trying at what was hard for me and just give up. It took me a while but I picked myself up by my bootstraps and pressed on. I picked a new career path and started over at networking and learning new skills. Now I have graduated and I am job hunting. Yet again, I thought I knew what I wanted to do, but since I have been doing all this learning lately, I am not positive on the route I want to go. Learning is good. Learning is fun. Learning is challenging. For once I am enjoying learning and while I am in waiting for my career to start, I am going to work on learning more and more each day.
