It's Not About the Money... But Damn I Want the Money

Yuppie

          I spent New Year's Eve partying it up in New York City with some friends from Cornell who are all employed people who have started "real life."  It's an odd feeling for me talking to them about work and life and everything, because I don't really feel like I have started "real life" yet.

          This gap year I'm taking is a weird limbo; I'm kind of working, but it's not full time and not at a long-term job, and I choose my own hours.  What's more, I have no idea where I'll be for the next four years, so I'm not really settling my roots in anywhere.  Plus, I'm staying at Cornell living close to campus.  Honestly, my life hasn't changed that much from how it was as an undergrad, except that schoolwork has been traded out for some work work.
