GRADUATION!!

Guys I did it!!! I finally received my Bachelor's degree! It certainly feels a bit weird having spent my last 3 years in Oklahoma. It started off as a place I could never see myself calling home but now I'm sad to leave. It's especially hard when many of my close friends are staying in Oklahoma for the beginning of their careers. Sure sure they all tried to get me to stay but honestly I didn't feel prepared to be a grown-up and my degree certainly wouldn't give me a grown up job in the area they are all staying in. Needless to say this is kind of scary…moving back home…do I even have a game plan? Do I have friends left back home??? Will I spend all my days in the house dying of boredom?

NOT TO WORRY MY FRIENDS!!

Do NOT feel like a failure for moving back home with your parents! You just graduated and need some time to land on your feet and to save a little more money before getting that grown up apartment to go with that grown up position after you nail the interview of course.

In my case I am headed to law school…well not yet. I still need to take the LSAT in October. So I'm taking this time as ME time, and to study. I want to do well on the LSAT in order to hopefully receive some scholarships from the law schools I will be applying to in the fall.

Do I have friends left?
OF COURSE! Remember to never burn bridges or at least keep them intact. It's hard to move away from college and keep everyone close. That's okay, just reach out and try and re-connect with the people who were your day 1 homies. These people will NEVER let you down and suck you right back into their lives! (It happened to me so there is hope)
BUT do realize that some of your friends are going to move on to different things, possibly different states to follow their careers. Sure this is going to be hard but remember friendship is forever and technology gives us ways to communicate! Snapchat and Skype my friends comes in handy!

In the meantime I found a summer job just to keep me busy and to prevent me from spending 100% of my time on the LSAT…which would drive anyone insane.

As for the dating life, I'm still single just focusing on me. If the right guy comes along that would be nice. But don't feel the pressure to hurry up and get engaged, YOU HAVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF YOU!! Have fun with your girls (or boys) while you can and just do you boo!
