‘Pin Up Picks Pen Up’ is an effort meant to overcome writers block; to examine life, purpose and choices. This blog is chock full of anecdotal goodness; everything from family, marriage, travel, frustration, failure, feminism, body image, immigration with plenty of black humour and the odd celebrity reference thrown into the mix.
Thank You for Reading. Thank You for Sharing.
That first line is perfect. English majors for the win! =)
I suppose I can look forward to several years of unemployment after I graduate next year.
Well, in reality, I left the country about ten minutes after I graduated, then did traveler’s jobs, for three years. So, I may have missed a career wave–no matter, wouldn’t have traded the travel nor the many years of school. Although, I think you’d enjoy the blog “Dear University Degree”, I’ve posted the link:
