LIFE UPDATE

This Monday, I start the final semester of my M.B.A., and I seriously cannot believe that it's almost over! The thought of closing this chapter and opening a new one is really exciting, but I'm also kind of nervous. Since I started graduate school right after my undergrad, I haven't had a life without school in what seems like forever. I also worked throughout both my undergrad and grad experience, and my free time in the last few years was somewhat limited. So, I really want to make an effort to use my newfound time for things I've always wanted to do but never been able to, like take singing lessons, a dance class, or go to the gym more often. 

Preparing to enter the job market in the middle of this pandemic is also a little overwhelming, but I'm really trying to stay positive and remind myself that everything is going to work out as it should, instead of letting my anxiety take over. Rather, I'm putting my energy into things that will best prepare me for my job search, like working on my resume and looking up interview tips. And, I'm trying my best to enjoy this moment I'm in, instead of constantly worrying about the future. 

I hope you all have a great week!

Happy Sunday guys!

It's been a while! Last month, I officially graduated from UNM with my B.B.A. with a concentration in Marketing Management with a 4.12 GPA. Honestly, it is so crazy to be done with that chapter of my life. This past week was a monumental one for me. First, I started the M.B.A program at UNM. Going to grad school is something I have always imagined myself doing, and it is unbelievable to see that goal starting to come to fruition. I also turned 22 last week, and it was my very first birthday living outside of my parent's house. And first of all, I really want to thank my sweet Matt, my parents, and my wonderful friends for making my birthday so special!

The truth is, even though all of these things are exciting and amazing and I am so happy and blessed to be beginning a new chapter in life, I have been struggling a little bit with the transition. You guys, change can be scary! And it wouldn't feel right for me to write this post about these things without mentioning the fact that sometimes I think about what I want to do after I finish grad school and it truly freaks me out. Sometimes, it can be easy to look around at other people either on social media or in real life and feel like everyone has it all figured out except you. But, I promise that it's not true. The more I talk to people about how I've been feeling, the more I realize that I am not alone.

I hope the next chapter in my life brings me even more happiness and joy than all of the previous ones combined. I hope that someday, I look back on this week fondly, knowing that everything really did work out exactly as it was meant to. But, until then, I am going to make an effort to stop stressing out about what comes next, and spend more of my energy truly enjoying and learning from the chapter I am in right now. After all, change can be scary, but it also leads to the absolute best things.

Have a great week everyone!
