Work

After 6 weeks of working, I’ve decided careers are pretty cool-I work on projects semi similar to what I did in college (nice work, ETSU!), plus I get to be around super smart people and soak in everything they’re saying/doing and then watch how their actions unfold and make mental notes on if I should handle similar situations in my future like they just handled their situation.  And the best part is, I’m getting paid!!!! 

But what’s most important is that I’m learning.  I’m learning and experiencing and thinking. 

I’ve also come to the conclusion that what someone does (aka their job title) is not what they DO.  Whether it’s working retail, delivering packages, raising toddlers, managing a Fortune 500 company, or teaching college students, we’re strangely all doing the same thing, which is functioning society.   Work is a lot less about duties, and a lot more about interacting with people and being positive and creating a nice energy.  I really like that. 

Since moving to New York, I have also been reminded of how truly lucky I am to have such an incredible family and to have formed such amazing friendships throughout elementary school, high school, and college.   I know this is where I’m supposed to be, but I do miss you all very, very much.
