Grow Up

You never realize how quickly time flies. Just yesterday I was 16 with no cares in the world. Now I'm a 21 year old college student getting ready for the real world. That thought honestly scares the living hell out of me. It's not because I'm not ready for it (I feel like I am), but this has always been the one the I knew I would procrastinate on the most.

Remember when you're a high school student on the brink of  graduation? Your first thoughts are, "Man, I can't wait to move out!" Some people do it (and I commend them), but I - like most of the people I know - have been talking the same old story for nearly 3 years now. I remember the talks with the best of friends talking about moving in together and just hanging out. These talks are looking like a reality more and more as each day passes.

With graduation just around the corner, well not really, but it's coming soon (....I hope) I'm trying to set up a One Year Plan:

1) I should be graduating this Winter. If not winter, then next Spring. The plan goes into effect as soon as I get that piece of paper that says I learned something throughout my academic career. I was thinking about pursuing a Master's degree, but I'm a little iffy about that now.
2) I told my parents that I'm moving out 6 months after I graduate. It's just about that time. I can't go back on that, my pride won't let me.
3) I started applying for some entry-level marketing positions that people close to me have been suggesting I feel like it's the right time to start looking. I really love the job I have right now, but there is zero to little chance of advancement and I get that. I knew I wasn't gonna stay at the UPS Store for the rest of my life.
4) Stay sexy. This is gonna be the easiest thing on the list.

Fingers crossed that this all goes according to plan!
