Growing Up

Today I went to my school's spring career fair, and while I was waiting in line to talk to (potential) future employers I was thinking about how I've been feeling more and more like a "grown up" lately. Maybe it's the fact that I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that I'm graduating in a few months, or the fact that I received a "save the date" card for my grand big's wedding in October, and it's weird to think about attending a wedding "on my own" for the first time without my parents. And for some reason (I really don't know why) when I was trying to figure out a time to meet up with my great-grand big, who was in town today, for drinks tonight or coffee tomorrow, I felt like a grown up again. I don't know why I've been feeling like this lately, and I'm still not sure if I like this or not, but it's definitely weird to realize that I'm going to be out in the "real world" in a couple months and I still have NO idea what I'm going to do with my life. Sorry that this has been kind of a rambling post...I guess the career fair just brings it out in me!

  1. It was definitely a weird year (2008-2009) when I got married, my grand big got married and my big got engaged!

  2. You sound just like me a couple of years ago! I was itching to graduate (my senior year kinda sucked) but once I graduated, all I wanted was to go back to school. I still wish I could go back!

  3. I just graduated in the Spring and could not agree more! I still have no idea what I am doing with my life, but there comes a point when you realize that's okay. You can figure it out as you go along - there are always surprises in store, so enjoy it!! Live in the moment :) :) :)

  5. Congrats on almost being there! I would imagine it's a weird feeling. I am only a freshman but this year has already gone by so fast, I'll be where you are in no time! There's a scary thought..

  6. You're so close! It's such a weird feeling when it hits you that you're growing up, I can totally relate, but think of how much fun you'll have doing new grown-up things lol!
