The Sanguine Big Picture of Recent Graduates

On a recent night out over a couple of bourbons with my better half I overheard an '09 college graduate cooking up the master plan for her future. "I totally want to live in Colorado and go hiking all the time and then I'm going to head on over to Olympia and volunteer for a few months, blah blah fucking blah."

I don't need to lay out the major arcana over here to prognosticate the odds of any of this happening. I mean, your propitious plans sound good on paper, Pollyanna but you're prolly gonna' marry some townie, have a couple of tadpoles and end up a girl scout leader that meets with the girls at the Cheesecake Factory for Mojitos (Mojitos, ON THE LIST).

Have fun paying off your student loans until you collect Social Security, sweetie.
