It’s been a hot second since I posted! And even though I hate making excuses, I’ve truly been a busy lil bee. But, I’m going to stick to my tradition of writing a birthday-related post. My Copenhagen travel guide is coming soon, I promise!
So for my 22nd birthday (which doesn’t even feel like it happened?), here are some things that I have achieved and am dealing with right now and this very prime age! Here’s also a lot of things I’ve realized! This post is very scattered, but it feels on-brand for me right now.
I have two kittens!
I love them so much and I never expected I’d be a kitten mother at the young age of 22. They have done wonders for my mental health, I mean nothing wipes away shitty commutes and sad days like a snuggle from a precious toe-beaned little being, right?
I have a full-time job!
I just started as an Associate Editor! And I am so excited about it. I really like the people I work with and I feel like I’ve found something I’m good at and enjoy! And the content I’m helping to create is stuff I love to read, it’s a dream job I never knew was a dream job for me.
I’m still running my blog!
But, to be fair, it’s been shoved on the backburner a bit. The full-time job has been taking up a lot of my energy. I am making no promises! But I hope to keep posting here and there as I embark on new adventures of becoming a whole-ass adult.
I went to Copenhagen!
This year I also traveled to New Orleans. I never expected I’d be traveling, especially not to a new country. Copenhagen travel post to come, I promise!
I can’t wait to plan my next trip, I’m hoping to head south!
I have read so many books!
So far, 75 and counting out of my 45 book reading goal. I love the New York Public Library and I’ve missed her so much. Reading makes my commute SO much greater. I’d be lost without my free library books.
If you want to read my scathing and kind reviews, follow me on Goodreads!
It’s okay to not know what’s next!
At the moment I’m a bit ahead of my game in many ways. Kittens? Check! Job? Check! For now, I’m not sure what’s next. Maybe I’ll plan a fun trip. I just got a new credit card with awesome cash back and I’m so excited about it like a true adult, so maybe I’ll get some amazing cash back in 2019 who knows! Hopefully, in the next few years, I’ll move out. I’m trying to embrace the not-knowing and impulsiveness of life more than I have in the past.
So, uh, here’s to 22? I guess I ought to play the Taylor Swift song of the same name since I haven’t done that yet.
