Alright, I haven't posted in a while. My bad. But I want to get back into blogging. It was a lot of fun because I got to just say whatever I was feeling and you would have to read it. But really, only about 7 of you will read it, most of which will be family.
Anyway, this summer I did a lot of "adulting", starting off with making the word adulting. It should be added to the Webster's Dictionary within the next year or so. So what did I do since the last time I blogged. Let's see, I've:
- Graduated college
- Signed a lease on an apartment
- Created a budget (kinda)
- Had just a few late night talks with members of my family about being an adult
- Went to 2 weddings (with 2 more coming up)
- Attempted to make lifestyle changes
- Failed at some of those lifestyle changes
- Pledged to actually make those changes once grad school starts
- Packed for graduate school
- Watched a whole lot of Netflix
- Played even more video games
To me, this was a pretty productive summer. I did some reading, both for fun and for grad school. I'm starting to feel like an actual adult. While I still have a little ways to go, I know that once I get to Bowling Green I'll make it work. Along with the fair share of adulting I did, I also had some time to be a kid. Between waking up at noon, staying up really late at night and playing video games in my pajamas, I'm sure I scare people when I tell them I'm going to graduate school.
But this is what summer is to me. I like having the time to do absolutely nothing. Normally I'm a person that is always on the move and rarely has time to relax. Summer is the chance for me to let loose by nothing doing anything all day long. Some people see this as lazy, while I try to look at it as I am preparing for the upcoming year where I won't be allowed lazy days.
Now my summer is ending. I have two more days in Illinois before I depart for Ohio. In that time I'm going to be packing, watching the second Sharknado movie and getting a tattoo. This has been a great summer for me and I'm sad to be leaving. At least I'll be leaving feeling a lot better about myself and my future.
