It's crazy to think that just a year ago I was applying and interviewing like crazy, hoping to find a job. Then once I got it, moving into a new city and adjusting to the climate (which equalled three new winter jackets).
What have I learned during this time period? 1. Spreadsheets hurt my eyes. 2. Coffee is a necessity. 3. An empty inbox on outlook makes me happy. 4. It's SO HARD to make friends in a new city. And 5. Life goes on, even when you aren't around (friends getting engaged, moving, losing touch with people, missing out on family stuff).
There are some good sides to it of course. 1. Being with someone you truly care about even when it gets tough. 2. Getting to know a new family. 3. Gaining the discipline to write something novel length (since it's always grey and rainy anyway) 4. You start to appreciate the sun and taking advantage of "nice" weather day. And 5. Being okay with 'alone time.'
Yes! The hardest thing for me was losing all my friends. Yeah, I can still see them once in a while, in fact, I'm meeting up with one next week! But you miss people. And sometimes things change so much. Sometimes they don't change at all. Lol!
ReplyDeleteI still don't have a 5 year plan. I barely have a 6 month plan.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way :) It's a bummer when things change so much it's hardly recognizable. Tis life though!
DeleteTime definitely goes by SUPER fast! It will be really interesting to see where we are a year from now, and five years from now! I can imagine it's hard making friends. It's difficult enough in school, where we saw kids every day and were forced to spend time together. But outside? Do we go up to girls at bars and buy them drinks? "Hey, wanna go to my place and...watch rom coms and drool over the cute guys?"
ReplyDeleteHaha I know right? How awkward would that be to go up to someone and ask, can I buy you a cocktail? Oh yeah, and also be my friend?
