I so fondly remember waking up on a Tuesday and being so excited that I wouldn't have class today because it's about to snow holy heck outside. How exciting? 


Snow means I'm going to spend the day laughing with my apartment mates, watching tv, and eating chips & dip ;) (shoutout to my senior year roommates, Karly & Imani!! Love ya'll) I can take unlimited naps today.  I definitely won't be doing any work and I'm just waiting for that beautiful email that says class is cancelled. 

Now I wake up to the weather report letting me know that it's going to snow 6-12 inches today with low to no visibility. Guess what? I still have to go to work. And the worse time to travel will be the evening commute. Wonderful. I've discovered that most employers really don't care if the heavens open up and a massive snow cloud pours upon us for the next 15 hours. You better make it to work....on time. 

At least we got snow days from elementary to now. 

WELCOME TO ADULTHOOD!

p.s. What was your favorite thing to do on a snow day at college? Represent the school and activity in the comments section. If you have a google email you can comment :) 


so you've graduated, congratulations!
now what?

three weeks ago, i asked myself the same exact question. in the weeks leading up to graduation i wasn't excited like my classmates. i was nervous. i was scared. what would i do now that my schedule wasn't made for me? i would no longer have the responsibilities of a college student, but rather the duties of working girl.

what does that even mean?

a lot of my friends were annoyed with my sometimes ridiculous desire to have my whole life mapped out before graduation. they called it unrealistic and said it was okay not to have everything figured out. funny thing is...they now are feeling the anxiety and uncertainty that i was feeling about the future. everyone wants a plan, something that they know is going to work out.

so, being the intellectual that i am, i decided let me research post graduate life. i kept thinking there has to be a resource for recent graduates. i didn't really find one. i found clothing blogs about what to wear to interviews. there were articles here and there listing advice for recent graduates however, there was not a single source that i found for the total package. after seeing dozens of hopeless, depressing statuses and tweets i decided to create a blog where i can share tips and tricks i have found. i'm going to document my journey while passing along any helpful information i find.

this is "from class to corporate: #postgradlife"
