The Wander Years (Pt. 1)

Ok.. Here it is, something most of us high school alums can agree with.  "What am I going to do with my life."  That my friends is a major question most of us ask ourselves after we get off of that 'Graduation' high. These are probably some of the lines you have heard, repeated, or witnessed;  Do I want to move out? Do I want to do something significant in my life? I'll go to school to be a nurse, I want to make money off of  my body (Model ya pervs), I'm going to move in with my boyfriend/fiancĂ©e and we're having a baby. I need fifty bucks to sign up to a class, its a unique business venture. I'll go look for a job after Family Guy. These are mere samples of the true words that get said during the 'Wander Years.'  The WYs are a period for about two to three years after a high school graduation or grade school completion, where young adults learn to develop skills and attributes that can help them achieve success in the 'Real World.' I know, I am abusing quotes here, but finding the right methods through the WYs are somewhat difficult.  Some parental guidance is good, as long as you are not pissing them off. If you are, how's living at your friends house going? Ok here is the deal, seven times out of ten, friends are cool with the move in, but you only have a three month grace period (if it's for free). Figure it out, the whole point of the WYs is to draw out a plan (or five) to follow, if one goes down use the back-up.  But for some reason there is always that one person that you meet, during the WYs that makes you want to throw out plans A thru Z....

The Start of Something Special?

It has come to my attention that my generation has about 15 years before we take over; governments, businesses, jails, street corners, certain McDonald Restaurants, etc...  This blog first and foremost is not a ploy for attention, although it would be nice to receive a lot of followers; our job is to post random but useful information  that you can either enjoy, hate, dislike, debate, share, keep to your self, hide, run into and scream, or just plainly agree with.  Now our title, personally I think is a work of art. Think about it, how often have you gone into a public restroom and thought, "Wow this is nice," or better yet, "Oh my god... call Sue for a...," and my personal favorite, "Is that a... Ehh... look at how long that is!" All of these situations and scenes have the same premise, they were unexpected or forced to happen because we all had to use the restroom.  Whether it be for an emergency or just to check the hair, something fortuitous seems to occur, most of the time.  That is what we aim to achieve. Purposeful news, entertainment, and help with those Facebook breaks, (I know I get bored too!) we write to inform or persuade.
