I Don't Have My Life Figured Out, But That's Okay

The key is to remain open to different options and to remain positive.

In a few short months, I graduate college. Which means in a few short months I begin "adulting." The real world just keeps getting closer and closer. I will tell you right now, that I honestly do not know what I want to do with my life. I have ideas, but nothing that is set in stone. I am not sure if I want to do something related to my majors or to go into a field completely different. I am not sure if I want to move back to my hometown or if I want to try a city I have never even been to. And this is okay. I am positive that I have said many similar things at different points leading up to now about different circumstances and in every case everything has turned out fine in the end.

Many people think that at this point I should have my life completely figured out and follow the societal path step by step to lead me to a successful future. First, you graduate college, then you get a job straight out of college, move out of your parent's house, get married and have children. But in today's world, this is becoming much less realistic. Not everyone follows this plan, in fact, it is becoming less and less common. There are so many options and I truly believe that God has a plan, and what is meant to be will happen. Not everyone is made to follow the path, and many people take different approaches to create their own path through life.

So, if you are like me, take a deep breath, and relax. In the end, everything will be okay and you will end up where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing. The key is to remain open to different options and to remain positive. This has worked for me in the past, and I believe that it will continue to do so in the future.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
