I’ll begin by sharing this simple fact: The jump from college to post-grad, “real world,” life is not what you think. On May 12th, 2013 I graduated from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Mass Communication, with a focus in Strategic Communication (advertising + public relations) – that’s a mouthful, huh?

Let’s say “thoroughly dislike.” To be honest, I never saw the appeal of a musical genre that revolves around blue jeans, tractors, heartaches, banjos and America.
