what is life?

April was crazy but these last two weeks in May have been even more so. I managed to make it through my last and most trying semester of my college career. In order to graduate I took 19 credits and boy did I turn into my most emotional self. With a few all nighters, Wendy’s 4 for 4, and my roomie Shelby, I made it through.

I always thought that college was such a weird stage of life. Walking around hungry and poor but some how managing to spend what little money you did have on cheap beer and wine. Now a 7-day-old graduate I have come to realize that my theory about adulthood is not true. I always thought that one day I would wake up bright-eyed with a few dozen saving bonds, knowing how to do taxes and insurance. To devastate all of you college students this is not the case.

Feeling like I have been thrown head first into the adult world, I decided to go with it. Taking what advice I could get from my loved ones and Google. Realizing that in order to get my dream job I needed my schooling with a zillion years of experience and my left lung. So like drake once said I have to start at the bottom, to get there.

I begin my next chapter in a different state with a job that can help me get to where I want to be. This new adventure will be difficult and wonderful, exciting and terrifying, but in the end it will keep me moving forward one micro step at a time.

Unlike Cinderella I wasn’t equipped with a fairy godmother but instead an army of people who love me and the determination to never push snooze on my alarm clock.

Wishing you a summer full of shaved ice and tanlines.
