In this quest to find out my exact purpose on this earth, I’ve been meeting many people along the way. Great people If you ask me. Now that graduation is over and vacation is finished real life has come knocking at my door and I must answer. No more handouts, no more pats on the back. Who knew that I would really have to grow up one day.
I’ve started my first real experience after college as a intern. I must say it is different and I have to say I miss my old life.
Sadly when I was in college I knew that the grass would be greener on the other side and life after graduation would be everything I could imagine. I would wake up late, go out with my friends, get all dressed up, sip champagne, and live the life.
Opposite Idea I wake up even earlier, I’m not in Houston I can’t go out with my friends, and I haven’t been getting dressed up. Truth is this is boring and it’s not what I expected.
I was wrong, it’s not bad don’t get me wrong no one is nagging me about a assignments, and I’m not stressed out about the next exam.
So you’re probably thinking “sounds like the life to me”
Well in actuality I’m in a different setting, a working environment, a get your money zone, a 9 to 5, Monday thru Friday position. Where people come here every day to make their money, and just to do their job no real issue right?
I happen to be in a lucky position, no one is standing over my shoulder, and no one is extremely mad if I’m a few minutes late.
It’s only been 3 weeks and I realize I need more. More education, more money, I have to be making a difference and changing the lives of others. I can’t do it from right here!
I’m writing to you all to let you know that you should enjoy any and every situation that you are in. I want you to remember that sometimes you’re in a good situation and right now there is someone doing worst than you.
I can say that I enjoyed my college years but I can also say that I was in a rush to leave and I knew that whatever was on the other side would be fantastic. Right now that isn’t the case. Sure it takes time. I’m waiting. While I wait I will make the most of this situation. Meeting and mingling with everyone I can.
Live Loud, Live in the moment, enjoy tonight, enjoy right now.
Love Jasmine P.
