Why am I having so much trouble achieving this dream? Ever since I was little I’ve wanted to bar-tend. (Yes I know that’s a weird aspiration for a child) I always thought of myself behind a bar wearing a trucker had jeans and cowboy boots and serving Jack Daniel’s and Bud heavies to rednecks. I want to flare bottles and talk to people about absolutely nothing.

So this summer I decided to finally make my dream come true. I went to Bartending school, got my mixologist education. I’ve applied at 12 different places for christ’s sake. No one will give me an interview. I wish they could see who I am, interact with me for just ten minutes. Then they’d see I was born to be in this profession.
