The Start of Something New

I'm just living my life day by day.

The Start of Something New

When I was little, if someone had told me that life goes by in a blink of an eye, I would have not believed them. I'm 22 years old now, and let me tell you all; that old saying is very real. Ever since I could remember, I always got excited of the thought of graduating from college, getting my dream job of working at a top PR firm and marrying the man of dreams in Atlanta, Georgia in the perfect house and not worry about a single thing at all, such as being in debt. Fast forward to my life as of right now, I could not tell you where my life could be leading to.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

May 13, 2017, I will be graduating from college, with a degree in Communication Studies, and just like most students my age, I am in debt and I have no idea where my life is going to take me for my future occupation in PR. I had hoped by this time of my senior year, I would already have had multiple job offers, and so far I have had none. At this point, you may think that I am worried or disappointed in myself because I had dreams of having the perfect American dream by now. Well, to answer your question, I am absolutely not worried at all.

I may not be where I had wanted be, but I know that each day I am getting closer to where I am supposed to be. I am going to keep working hard to accomplish my dreams and by doing that, I will continue to get more experience in my field of study, network with others, and most importantly, keep positive. It's okay if everything is not going perfectly. That's life. Day by day, I am going to put every single worry that I have into God's hands. I know that he has a plan for me, so I just have to sit back, relax, and live in the moment.

At this time of my life, this is the start of something new. I can not continue to keep my head down because things are not going the way I want it to be. I know that at this point, every single struggle that I have, can only go up from here. In the upcoming years, I will work in one of the top PR firms in the nation, and that is when you will know that my dreams came true by working hard and having God, my family and friends by my side.

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!
