you guys
so I was off of tumblr for like a year or more maybe and deleted thousands of my posts, and as you may have noticed I’ve been posting here and there every now and then. it’s nice! I missed sharing my thoughts outside of twitter and just getting everything out of my head.
anyway, since i’ve been back I have gotten a few messages from people that are either saying how happy they are that I’m back, and how happy they are to see me succeeding and happy, or how they’ve been following me for YEARS or how they’re glad to see me still dating collin and still happy as ever with him. It’s so sweet!! I’m just in awe and so touched that you guys would come out of your way to tell me these sweet things and that after all this time, you’re still rooting for me!! it’s so wonderful. I just wanted to say thanks, and I hope that wherever you are, you also feel special and loved today. :)
woooo weeee I cannot bring myself to work out. I want to, and I get it in my mind that I should, and then I never do. I don’t know why. I wish I weren’t so lazy. honestly it’s pointless to workout around the holidays for me, because life and cookies and other treats get in the way. alas.
better and better still
aside from worrying that someone stole my sister’s christmas gift I ordered out of our mailroom at my apartment complex…
life really is just full of blessings and I feel them more and more each day. I was offered a research assistant position today!! It’s in transportation planning and engineering–two things that I know nothing about–but it doesn’t really matter because I’ll learn and it’s mostly helping write proposals for grants! I’m so excited!! I’ve been feeling pretty down on myself for not having a more serious work experience to add to my résumé this semester, because it seems like everyone else has a great planning related job and a work schedule that is flexible and can be done in our school building and doesn’t require business casual, etc. etc. I have a great job that pays well, and I’m proud of myself for hustling to get it before the school year even began. I literally moved to new jersey on a friday and had the interview on the following monday. But it still isn’t fulfilling and it isn’t related to planning, and so I’ve been on the hunt.
also, let me take a second to say that you should greet that opportunity when it comes a knocking. let me tell you. we got an email from a career advisor woman that works in our program (planning that is) and it was advertising the position. I wasn’t even going to apply because I am not a transportation planner and I knew that a lot of other waaaay more competitive people from my program were going to apply. but I applied anyway, just to see what would happen! to my surprise he liked my resume and asked me to come in for an interview before thanksgiving, and believe me, it went TERRIBLY!!!! or so I thought!! and then I sent him a sample of writing and work I did over the summer, and he liked it enough to hire me. even though I know nothing about transportation and engineering. soooooooo…..the moral is, go with your heart because you never know what will happen!
anyway, I feel really happy now, and I’m 90% sure I’m going to take the position. I have reservations because a better (full time) opportunity may present itself for this summer, and I’m definitely keeping my eyes out for that. but in alll things are really just falling into place right now. I am so blessed and god is still so good.
Today Collin and I bought ourselves a big new bed for our new place! We did this long distance, so it’s going to live with me for the next semester until he graduates in May, but I’m so ecstatic!! It’s a huge memory foam dense mattress with a frame! The best part is we got it for $400 ($200 each with free shipping woo hoo!!) when it originally cost around $1,500!! (Overstock.com for the win!)
I’m so excited!! It’s finally sinking in and beginning to feel real that this distance is almost over! We’re building the foundations of our home and life together, and I could not be happier about it ☺️
Now if only I could use that chopper attitude to carry me through these next two weeks, then it’ll be winter break and I can relax with my fam!
I willllll someday maybe eventually!! its v empty bc Im poor

I'm a long time follower and I just want to say I am so happy things are going well for you! I'm an undergrad right now and it's really reassuring to know that things can work out for us, especially with so much negativity among people our age about postgrad life. So thank you for the positive vibes, and keep them coming :) <3
