#PostGradLyfe

Remember that one time I graduated? From college? With an actual degree? Like as in I'm done with school forever?

Yeah. Same.

(cue passing out)

 I am now living the phenomenon that the world likes to call "The Post-Grad Life." Because suddenly life was like... "You have a college degree so LOL let's throw you out into the real world and by the way hurry and figure out what you want to do with your life and OH good luck finding a job!"

Or something to that effect. So here I am. Twenty one years old, a college graduate and working a big girl job (which by the way, took me a solid 8 months to find).

Shhhh hey little guy it's okay, I feel ya. Young and afraid my friend...young and afraid.

But I mean I bought my very first cookbook and signed up for my own health insurance, life insurance AND a retirement plan so heyyyy boys!

Also so many heart eye emoji's over paying back my student loan. YAY.

Not.

Really though. Shout out to this new stage of life. I'm learning lots and figuring out what to do with all my no-more-homework-ever-again time. Now that I'm finally done with the job hunt and settling into one I like, it's been pretty liberating. A lot of my time involves trying to balance a social life, building my book list, baking treats that max out my caloric intake in a single bite, planning my next big trip, watching lots of Netflix aka Scandal and an occasional morning run here and there to train for a half marathon (which by the way if I ever try to sign up for one of these again slap me, and slap me hard).

So here's to you real world. Ya ain't half bad.
