My Post-Grad Plans & 3 Year Blogaversary

Whaddup readers? That was weird, I just felt like I should start the post with that. I’m currently on the ~other end~ of a breakdown. These past two weeks have been hard. I cried. I stressed. I stayed up really late. I panicked many times. I bitched to everyone close to me that would listen. I drank wine. I was a mess.  And everything has settled just in time for eyeliner wings & pretty things’ three-year blogaversary (!!!)

Here I am! In my pajamas, leisuring while I could probably be doing homework. Watching Desperate Housewives (It’s so good! I’m addicted) has now filled in the time I used to spend applying for jobs and internships. Let me tell you, that was a lot of time. Here’s where I’m at…

Post-Grad Plan

I wrote dozens of cover letters, sent out plenty of resumes and even had a couple of interviews. I even turned down a job offer. I stressed a lot about all of this.

But…after months of worrying, applying and stressing, I have finally figured out my summer plans! And my autumn plans.

But, I’m going to be interning at INSIDER in the editorial department and I couldn’t be more excited. The commute is waaay better than last summer’s commute to and from Times Square. The company is so cool and the ladies I’ll be working with seem really great.

It was a tough decision and I’ve ultimately realized I need to stop worrying so much!! I’ve been a pit of worry for months and I am finally calm. Things will work out eventually!

Senior Bucket List

Surprisingly, I feel ready (enough) to leave my college. Seeing my senior bucket list crossed off, I feel like I’ve done a lot of what I wanted to do here. I’m definitely done with classes. I’m going to miss a lot of people and I’m not dumbly optimistic to believe I’ll stay in touch with all of them, but I’m hopeful. The next two, final weeks of senior year should be good ones and I can’t wait.

But, overall? Though I hate the phrase, my heart is so full! College has been great and I’m going to miss it, but I think I’m okay with moving on. I’ve done everything I wanted to do and I have the power to come back and the power to keep in touch with people. I think I’ll miss shopping for school supplies the most.

Blogaversary

Also, my blog is three years old! I started this in my sophomore year dorm room and never imagined how far it’d actually go. Though the number of posts I make about college will be significantly cut down, I promise I’ll keep posting as much as I can.

That’s It!

I’m betting most of my time is going to be spent packing and unpacking and probably taking photos and crying these next few weeks. And, also trying to finish the food and drinks I’ve amassed these past few months.

What are your summer plans?
