It's almost been a year since I've graduated college (2.5 months shy).
To think how afraid and stressed I was around this time, a year ago, makes me that much more
appreciative of where I'm at today. As scary as it was, it's all part of the process of growing up, right?
Minty fresh, out of college, I was clueless. Clueless of where to go, what to do,
how to start, and if I even wanted a job in my degree. But of course,
everything happened...so gracefully. I can't complain. For a while, during the first couple weeks
of my first job, I realized that this is life. You work, eat, and sleep—it's a continuous cycle.
No more vacation, no more tests, it's just work all year round. I'm sure everyone thinks about this
around the time they begin their first full time job after college, but it was
just so, so eye-opening for me. It all made sense after that, you need to love your job,
enjoy it at least a little. If not, your life will feel quite miserable, and no one
wants to feel miserable. I'm still figuring things out, but for now, things are good,
I learn something new every day, and this is where I'm at. I'm thankful I have a job,
I live with the best sister in the world (and by best I truly mean the best, so great,
I sometimes feel her love is not reciprocated by me...definitely need to work on that),
wonderful, loving family, and great friends. What more can I possibly ask for!
Maybe to travel...but that can always happen later, because I know I'm going to
make it happen. And on that note, isn't this scenery beautiful?
