Hello Real World
Wow. April flew by. Time is escaping me so fast that I feel like my last post was over a year ago. So much has changed since then. The majority of my friends are graduating this weekend, and its a real shocker to me. This past weekend, I went to Austin with two of my friends to tour their new apartment complex with them, and do some other fun stuff.
Austin Motel Sign
First off, we stayed at the Austin Motel near downtown, and we couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw the epically phallic sign for the place. Sorry, it’s just too funny to leave out. On a more important note however, this was the first time it really hit me that most of my friends are going to live in the real world, where real things happen. Not only that, but during the trip, I had two other friends call me, and tell me that major things had happened in their plans that made them completely change what they were doing after college.
I guess that is the biggest thing that is really hitting me. I always grew up with a set plan for what I wanted to do, and what was expected of me through college and after. It was the only thing I knew growing up, and so I have always been afraid to deviate from it. Now, I am seeing that being open to anything and being able to adapt to any situation will prove to be very important.
This summer, I plan to learn a lot about what I would like to do over the next few years of my life. Things should be very interesting.
