Mia was randomly matched up with my bff from high school, Keely. We then joined the same sorority and it only started from there. Today we were reminiscing that it's been 5 years since we were freshmen, 3 years since crazy boy friends, 3 years since I turned 21 and the fact that we now both make our own living and our parents aren't paying for us. It's a scary time, for everyone.
We also chatted about how we feel like everyone around us is getting engaged and married and how we have the tiniest ping of envy and feel like we're being left behind. (Our friends aren't getting married, thank goodness, just all those other crazies out there). It's just weird thinking that we're doing being "kids" and we're adults, for the rest of our lives. I think I said, "how did all these people make it out without going crazy."
And just by chance I came across an article about being a 20-something and not knowing what's going on. This is my favorite piece of advice they give....
Answering the question, "What do I want to do with my life" is more often a process of elimination rather than a lighting bolt of inspiration.
I think everyone within the 2 year range of graduating or those within the 2 year range after graduating feel like this question gets asked, oh every .2 seconds. And guess what, WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE ANSWER!!! I wish someone would've told me that so I didn't feel as stupid saying, "I don't really know."
Check out the rest of the advice for 20-somethings.
I'm blank canvas and would love all the advice in the world.
