My first post

I have never been much for online blogging but I decided to give it a try. I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineer from Ohio Northern University, and damn am I glad that its over with. Ohio Northern is a good school but I am still uncertain if the $35k+ a year was worth it. I did the co-op program with my education there and earned about 9 months of work experience that has helped me a lot in finding a job. Its a lot easier when people dont look at your GPA for the job search. Personally I think that I am capable of solving most problems given time and resources needed.

I am still enjoying the college atmosphere at least for this summer while I work most of the day I am still living in my old place and hanging with my fraternity brothers for the time being. Theta Chi was one of the best decisions I made in my time at Northern. I dont think I would have ended up the same person I am today if I hadnt made that choice. I have made many friends and have thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. I even may continue to do so as an alumni if they choose to let me. Either way I will try to help them in any way I can.

I honestly believe that even if God doesnt interfere with our day to day lives he does give us oppurtunities that we have to take advantage of the things he places in front of us. Sometimes it doesnt work out the way we would like but I have to believe that he has a reason for it even if we dont understand it and never could. I have been raised by my strong christian mother who raised us on her own. I love my mother a lot even though she can seem very controlling at times.

Hoping that in the next few months I can get settled into a job and start getting myself some stuff I need, like a new car and a new place to live here. Anyways I dont know what to actually write in here but I figured I would give this a try.
