“Growing up is full of big moments. Some of them you can see coming from a mile away; and some you can't see at all.” (The Wonder Years)
Over the last few months, I have had to start thinking a lot about “growing up.” Questions like “What do you wanna do after graduation?”, “Where do you wanna live after you move out of your college apartment?” and “What are your goals for the future” seem to be asked on a rotating basis more than 100 times a day. Being that I have never been able to make decisions, these few months have been very difficult to handle.
For as long as I can remember, I have dreamt about working in NYC after graduating college. (Well, that is after I stopped dreaming about being a princess) To me, nothing else ever seemed like an option. Recently, however, that dream has seemed to become more of a farfetched fantasy since the amazing job that I thought I would get has yet to “come through.”
Even though I still hold hope for a place in the NYC workforce, my latest goal might actually be something realistic. I plan on applying for a job at my internship in Connecticut
The Real World. Wow. I definitely don't think I’m ready for paying bills, making “big” choices, looking for a place to live. Why are those tasks so intimidating and why do I have to do them?! Can't I just stay a “TOYS R US” kid forever?!!
