So dreams do come true...

Yesterday was possibly one of the best days of my life. I have been freaking out about my future for the last several months because I had no idea what I was going to do with the rest of my life and i felt like I was just floundering. But now, I am officially no longer floundering because..... I GOT A JOB!! Not only did I get a job, but I got the dream job. USA Today has offered me a year long fellowship working with the opinions editor. I am beyond excited. Someone actually wants to pay me to write and that someone is one of the best papers in the nation! Of course I will be doing a lot more grunt work than actual writing, but  my boss said I will definitely have the opportunity to get some bylines. Plus, I am going to be learning so much about the industry and that is an invaluable experience. Well I am sure I will have a lot more to say once I have started working, but for now I am incredibly happy and eager to start my dream job!
