Yesterday I accepted a job offer for a full time position beginning in January 2011 after I graduate in December.
Yes it is EARLY to already have a job lined up. Yes, times are tough, but the offer was generous. Yes I can ONLY attribute this to God. He is good. I am thankful.
Suddenly my life has shifted. It has actually squelched some of my senioritis. There is light at the end of the tunnel and the light is good.
I felt grown up as I read over life insurance, medical, and 401k plans.
I feel anxious.
For so much of my last 2 years of college, I have been in survival mode. Just getting by till the next semester rolls around. Trying to take one day at a time, but spending most of the time thinking about what was to come.
Now it is all feeling far to real.
I glance down at my left hand, see my ring, and all I can think about is the dress I will wear in almost 9 months. The one I got last week. The one I would have danced around the store, and worn home if it hadn't been 10 sizes too big. The one I knew was THE ONE after I walked out of the dressing room and saw my mom and sisters faces.
Yes, real life, the life I’ve been praying and anxiously waiting for is coming fast. It is such a conundrum to want to soak up these last 2 semesters of college while also longing for the future.
*Inhale. Exhale. Just breathe.*

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the job! It must be nice knowing that your last semester of college you'll only need to be stressing out about your schoolwork, instead of having to find a job on top of it all.
