The "Real World"

So it's June. That time of year when school winds down, and the summer feelings start to pick up. Plans are made but most never followed. The beach towels and the bathing suits are brought out while the turtle necks and scarfs are put to the back of closets.
Every Monday Grad's are posting picture from their proms. All the pretty dresses, the limos. It's making me a tad nostalgic. Don't get me wrong I don't miss high school I guess I just miss school.
PS. I'm stoked to actually be going to college next year! YES!
I can't believe the fact that I have been graduated a year. Out in the real world so people call it. It doesn't even feel that different. I feel like I've been spending my whole life to prepare for this so called "real world." And this is it?

So this past year I have learned so much about myself it isn't even funny, yet sometime i feel like what i thought i learned didn't end up being true.
Contemplated getting promoted, to wanting to quit my job all together. I apparently can't decide if I love it or hate it.
Wanted to move out but just couldn't justify the finances, because my family situation is just unbearable.
I am doing things and in charge of things I didn't even think I would ever be involved in, proving just how much god is in control. But that's a whole other post altogether.
Found out who my real friends really are, no longer do you have to make small talk with the people you sit beside, or are in your high school "clique"
I got to find out who I can really do life with, and that I definitely love my bestest friends, and the people I have become much closer to. Here's the thing, when high school is over and done with you know the ones that count are the ones you still make an effort to stay in touch with.

Many people told me, "No, don't take the year off, you'll never go back to school. You're going to do nothing with your life."
Truth = This year was the best thing I have done for myself. No, I may be miserable at work at the moment, but hey school has always been easy for me, and i knew this wouldn't be. All of the above wouldn't have happened if I didn't. I wouldn't have been sure of everything I am of now. First and foremost, my relationship with god has grown tremendously. He has opened so many doors for me and given me so many experiences that the rest of my life will never be the same.

So I'm going to stop writing this essay now, pce.





Oh and now blogger isn't even letting me post pictures in my blogs, thnx alot!
