Inaugural Blog Post

Hello,

Welcome to my blog.  For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jeff Kaplan, Kaps for short.  I am a 22 year old recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh's College of Business Administration.  In less than 2 weeks, I will begin my career with a large accounting/consulting firm.

The reason I am starting this blog is because I need to share my thoughts about life and the changes that go along with it.  The name "Three Quarters Left" comes from the fact that as I begin this blog, I've lived approximately one quarter of my life, which means that there are three quarters left (advanced math stuff, I know).  Many of you have heard of a quarterlife crisis, and I believe I'm experiencing some degree of that right now.  College was amazing and the experiences and memories I have from it I will treasure forever.  Right now though, I'm in a completely crazy transitional phase.  I believe that sharing what goes on in my crazy head may help me to figure out the path I need to take.  It is also my goal for at least one person who reads this to understand that many people around this age are struggling with change, and that someone else can empathize with what they are going through.

I promise that this blog will provide insight into my life, my thoughts about the world around me, and most importantly, humor, because who wants to read something that doesn't make them laugh?

With that, I welcome you to "Three Quarters Left," and I hope you enjoy what I have to share.  Please feel free to comment at your leisure, even if you think this is a complete load of crap.
