I just finished my Bachelor's Degree at ITT Technical Institute in Murray in August and was wondering how many of my fellow Utah Wrimos are post-college types? If there's a bunch of us, we can share nerdy physics/philosophy/english/math jokes at Saturday City Library write-ins! =D

I graduated from SUU in Cedar this past May (well, there's some lingering controversy over credits, but I figure I got the funny hat so what else do I need, right?).

Are you asking for *recent* college grads? I have a BS in CompSci.

...And I'm currently in Miami for my 20 year high school reunion weekend.

I'm wondering the same thing. The first time I graduated there was a hell of a lot less history to have to study.

I got my bachelor's in biomedical engineering at the U in 08. Hoping to include some college experiences in the first chapter of my novel.

I'm not a *recent* grad, but I have a bachelor's in economics from UC Santa Cruz and an MBA from Santa Clara University. My husband is going back to college (starting at SLCC cuz it's cheaper), though, so I might get inspired to get another degree. :-) We'll see. I'm an education junkie!

2001 English Literature. I thought about Linguistics but shifted focus when I discovered you can't do anything with ONE linguistics degree. Only to discover after graduation that you can't do much with an English degree either!

I just graduated from Westminster in May with a History degree. I haven't quite adjusted to life without school. How can it be *harder* to write a novel when I no longer have class and homework?
