That's how I've felt lately. My younger self wouldn't have imagined me going through some of these things, I'm sure. Looking back, it seemed I had things so much more pulled together.
I doubt I thought that way then! Good grades, wonderful friends, sports that I loved, jobs that I didn't mind working at. College and post grad life gave me a failed class, broken relationships, an unfortunate internship, impulsive purchases, huge responsibilities, financial strain, a crazy sleep schedule, a crappy eating routine, random day jobs just to pay the bills, and messing up... again and again. And now I'm supposed to know what I want to do with my life?! It certainly seemed like my younger self had it all planned out. However, that's a lot to throw at someone upon graduation, or four months after no less. And I know I'm not alone. I wouldn't be surprised if every 20-something felt like this for a good portion of this decade. I'm not trying to be whiney, just honest. Life has thrown me some sour lemons over the past year I have never experienced before. But I'm hoping this "crisis" is on it's last breath. Don't get me wrong, I've also had incredible experiences that I would not change. I truly have some great memories I hope never get tarnished rolling around with all those sour lemons in my head. Anyway, things are actually beginning to look up and I'm excited for the fun adventures awaiting this summer. These are some things that have kept me busy lately.
-
Elyse,
Collyn, and myself helped my sister make a film for one of her college major classes.
- I moved out of my studio apartment and moved into a historic house in Eastown, GR.
- I now have 4 roommates, and 2 kittymates... and the occasional bat, which I hope I never actually encounter.
- My things are 82.5% unpacked and where they are supposed to be.
- Moo had an
expensive little stint in the hospital because he was basically stressed out about the move.
- He's now doing much better and I'm pretty sure is in love with his new kitty roomie, Bean.
- I recently finished the 1st Janet Evanovich book,
One for the Money, and am now on
Two for the Dough. It's a great series and a fun read but I'm not sure I can keep this up for 16+ more?!
And... drumroll please... the biggest news so far...
- I was just offered a full time design position at the company I worked for while in school- first big girl job! Plus, handed to me on a silver platter by the people I loved working with four short months ago.
- Therefore, I have officially put in my 2 weeks at my part time day job and am super pumped for this new opportunity!
So, once again, my excuses for neglecting the social networks lately. Until next time!
