Once college was over I was faced with a big ugly grown-up reality- I had to get a job.  I knew one thing for certain after graduating college in Wisconsin – I didn’t want to live there. I needed the sand, sun, and most importantly, the water. So I headed to San Diego and after a short stint as a college educated waitress, I did what any irresponsible adult (who still acted like a child) would do- I moved to a tiny island in Mexico.  My parents were not impressed.  But, looking back, it was the best decision I have ever made.
