I'm in a post college slump. If your life is totally jammin' right now, I'm super stoked for you, but to give you an idea of how I have been feeling this summer-well, it would be relatable to an avocado drought. YIKES. But honestly this SUMMER IS an adventure, I just graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor degree in Apparel Design. It was all work and play, really. Nothing but good twenty-five cent bottled beers, all nighters in the sewing lab and hanging out with super cool pals. But I actually only attended Purdue for three years because I NEEDED a chance to live in NYC for a year and experience what it was truly like to pay for overpriced water ;). hehe jk, NYC is incredible. I went there for a rockin; three in one program that was offered by Purdue and the Fashion Institute of Technology. Good stuff. I received my Associates for Fashion Business Management in one year in the city while I also had the opportunity to conquer several internships. In the summer following my Junior year in the city, I received an offer for an internship in SoCal, which was definitely a God thing because that is where my boyfriend, Sam was planning on living over the summer. After a year of doing some distance, it was a blessing we could have the summer together!
After I finished my last year at Purdue, it made the most sense at the time to move in with Sam in Southern Indiana and get a temporary job for the summer while I looked for permanent positions. So I'm currently nannying for this incredibly big-hearted, Christ-loving family. It is actually the best summer job I could have asked for because they are a bundle of fun and the kids are great. Sometimes I just feel down IN the dumps for still not having a big girl job but God has a plan !!!
All in all, I'm trying my best to take advantage of this summer with my boyfriend and embracing the very few obligations I have. Sometimes I need to remind myself that holding off on selling my soul to corporate america is actually a good thing! It is also pretty cool to be in complete control of my future. I'm young and have my whole life ahead of me! I can decide what my next move itS and I will.
