My sister goes back to school tomorrow which means that I won’t have her at home anymore to keep me company. Life feels like it’s in a really weird spot right now. Everything is good but I’m still adjusting to life without college. I have no homework to do and I have nothing to study for. Talk about a transitional stage in life!
I’ll start dental school in the fall so I have about 8ish months to do whatever I want really. I’ve looked at getting a job so I can start saving some money but even then, I’m not quite sure what I would want to do.
Despite all of the uncertainty right now, I feel so thankful to have all of this time to take care of myself. I’ve been able to work out more, do more yoga, go for more walks with Boo, and just relax! In school, I never really gave myself time to relax so I guess I’m making up for that now. Like this past week, yes, I did work out and walk and stay active, but it really was just a nice, relaxing movie week! I watched the new Disney movie Encanto twice and then watched a bunch of my favorite Sandra Bullock movies. It was pretty great!!
For me, I think the biggest thing to remember in this transitional spot right now is that it’s a transition. It has also been really important for me to recognize that my life is not going to be like other people’s lives. I have my own plans and my own comforts and I will do what works best for me! Many of my friends are still in school and it’s hard to see them all so busy and productive while I’m at home. Makes me feel like I’m slacking! It’s hard to slack though, when you have no schoolwork to do. Some of my friends and people I’ve known from school in general have started working and some are even getting married now! I’m just at a different stage in my life than they are and that’s totally ok! I’ll just go at my pace and see where things go.
This transitional time has really given me and will be a great opportunity for me to continue to work on myself and I’m super excited for it. When you can, remember to take time for you too. 🥰 I hope you all have a great week and I’ll see you next weekend!
