Been a while since I last posted for you! So, here's whats going on in my life right now:
- doing the whole job search thing
- still unpacking from college & from getting back from Ashley's where I spent the summer
- have successfully managed to visit a majority of my friends up in VT since I've been home
- trying to decide where I'm going to live; and if/when I can afford to move in on my own
- managing how weird it feels to not be moving back into college today
Originally the plan was for Rosie and I to get an apartment in Barre, but that's not a healthy decision for me for lots of reasons which I don't really wish to divulge to strangers on the internet. Let's just say I have a past with Barre and I don't want to put myself in a position where I will feel unsafe or ambushed.
SO-I am contemplating where I really want to be so I can start job searching in that area and figure out life piece by piece. To start I'll be living at home and commuting to work wherever I decide is the area I want to reside, so I'm trying to be smart and realistic about what I can afford, how much commuting my car can take until I make the big move, and where the best place for me is in Vermont.
In the meantime I'm daydreaming about what it'll be like to finally be on my own, to be a real adult working the typical American 40 hr week, and how incredible it'll feel to finally be financially independent from my family. I can't wait to be able to pay all my own bills every month while chipping away at my student loans that will be coming due in a few more months! However, step 1 is finding that first career-level job to put my degree to work.
Self-sufficiency at it's finest!!!
I'll need lots of luck so feel free to leave your well-wishes below. Much appreciated!
If anyone has any suggestions or tips on searching for and obtaining a first apartment or what the first year out of college looks like-feel free to leave those below as well.
From my brain to yours,
xoxo Megan
