With one month separating me from the grown up world, or "real life," I figured that it would be the perfect opportunity for a life update. Since my last blog, a lot has happened. I had the opportunity to attend the South by Southwest (SXSW) interactive festival, I corrected a lot of negative steps I had previously taken in my life, said goodbye to my first vehicle, and purchased a second, brand new car.
All of these changes are more or less forcing me to realize that, as adults, we are forced to truly consider the decisions we make. Now more than ever, the choices I make will impact my future. Fortunately, attending SXSW was a great decision that provided me with many networking opportunities. By correcting the negative steps I had previously taken, I'm back on track to pursue my dreams and do the things I've dreamt of doing, without consequence to others. Even the switch to a more reliable car (p.s. I love my new Honda Accord coupe. Not sure how I lived without it!) has been a decision that impacted my future by influencing my credit, my ability to travel, the places I can move, etc.
As I go through the motions of finding a "big kid job," it scares me to realize that my future is in my own hands. The last semester of college is more or less irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. My teachers have one last shot to try to influence me, but chances are good that my mind has been made up already. Generally, my grades are set, my knowledge base is established, and I'm inches from the transition from student to professional adult. Any last words? Yes, let's not rush it. I plan to take time to consider the decisions I make from now on. Cheers to making good choices!
