Well, what can I say....I started this blog while was in college and now that I have graduated, I can now spend more time going back to my second favorite hobby-writing.
To everyone who says that finding a job is hard after college, probably did not try very hard. I can honestly say that in less than a year I have been in three jobs since graduating. I was a receptionist for a senior rec center, which was a lot of fun, because it made me much less afraid of getting old! I worked for North Central Texas College for six months in the admissions department. I had a lot of fun there and learn some very valuable lessons from a dear friend, Kay Barham. I have to say that God led me to that job to meet her. She made me realize my own character and what possibilities I could achieve. I am sad to say that she passed away a couple months ago and it was the first time I have ever had someone outside of my family die very suddenly. It still affects me a little, but I know she wouldn't want me feeling sad for her all the time.
I knew her for only six months, but they were some of the best life-changing months I have ever had. I then got a job back at UNT as an Admissions Counselor. Next to my RA, this is the best job I have ever had! My basic duties are advising prospective students on how to get into UNT, travel and recruit students from different high schools in Texas, and accept or deny students. I basically help students get into college! Of course, the only down-side is when I have to deny a student, but hey! I get to travel a lot and take friends with me!
I will say though, that the job can affect someone's personal life because I can't hangout with friends as much as I use to, but I guess that's a part of being an adult. Speaking of friends, I have grown much closer to God through the relationships I have with my friends and people in general. I have written many times how much of a people-person I am, but it gets hard when you live alone and my friends help me see that I am never alone.
It's weird. I am an adult and there's nothing left to be anxious about. However, I have always strived to maintain that age is only a number and will carry that belief to my grave. God wants me to enjoy life and not worry about tomorrow. He conquered all worry and bad times for me so I can put it all on Him. I thank Him every day for that! I feel more free than I have ever been because of it and now I can begin a new life! I know I will stumble along the way, He knows I will, but I know He will always be there to pick me back up!
Reader, you can tell that this blog is a little different than some of my others. Just know that I am trying to free my self of the past since I have been haunted for way too long. It will take time, but I am finally confident in myself. Confidence is a feeling I have rarely ever felt in my life will strive to hold onto it. If you see me, or know me, feel free to slap me if I do revert back to my old self. Just kidding, but seriously....tell me!
Well, I think that's a good update for 2 years worth of absence! Thanks for reading and God Bless!
PS- I am also dating someone.....yeah, I know-FINALLY! so that might be why I am so happy right now, but who knows......
