9 months of Adulthood?

Yesterday I had the horrifying realization: I graduated college (and turned 22) 9 months ago. 9 months?

It’s been 9 months yet just now I am starting to settle into life. My mom recently said to me that I’m experiencing right now what I should have felt in June– freaked out about finding work and the horrifying realization that childhood is over.

It’s easy to feel discouraged about what hasn’t happened in the past 9 months. Just now I am finally making enough money to support my lululemon addiction.

But these 9 months have been full of accomplishments

 

I had the opportunity to spend my third summer working as the dance specialist at a day camp where my co-workers are my best friends.

 

I lived out my childhood dream and moved to California for 2 months

 

I studied my butt off and became an NASM Certified Personal trainer… and since then have acquired a handful of other fitness qualifications.

I worked my first real job… and quit my first real job.

And now I finally get to settle after a whirlwind 9 months. I’m reconnecting with old friends, adjusting to new jobs, learning how to “do it all” and the most important thing? I’m incredibly happy with how everything is playing out.

My fortune cookie last night could not be more perfect

 

Big things are definitely happening. I am officially teaching my first spin class at the end of the month (even typing that gives me a mini panic attack). Next week I am teaching my own fitness class “Boot Camp Blast” which will incorporate both zumba and strength training for a super sweaty workout. I am loving my various part time jobs.

As freaked out as I may be about the fact that “adulthood” started 9 months ago when I graduated college, at least it’s been pretty exciting and chock full of opportunities so far. I have a feeling it’s only gonna get better

What have you accomplished over the past 9 months?

Any spin playlist recommendations?

I finally gave in and started using spotify. took me long enough…..
