Is pretty lame!
I'm reading every one's blog seeing the fun things they're doing and awesome places they're going and my life is pretty much the complete opposite right now. Life in Little Woman Land is tame at best. Unemployment is still sucking ass but I'm optimistic that doors will be open soon.
Besides being on the job search, I've also been making moves to get back in school. If any time...this is the best time to start being proactive and start thinking long term future wise and school is something I obviously want to finish.
I'm trying to enjoy the summer and I will probably regret these words down the road but I'm wayyyy more excited about getting back into school and getting my education on. I have an appointment with a academic counselor on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the steps of enrolling back into school and what credits from Florida will hopefully transfer up here and if all goes well, I'm hoping I'll be able to get in for this fall.
If you followed this blog for awhile you'll know that I'm a planner and to do lister and not having structure to my day is making me crazy. I had high and probably unrealistic hopes that I would get here to PA, find a job quickly and start my life and everything would be honky dory but that is not the case obviously.
I'm struggling not having structure and honestly I'm not getting any younger so I want my life to start getting underway (A.D. you know what I'm talking about). Though I love my parents I don't want to be in my high school room forever, unemployed, scraping for cash. Next year me and Big Man will be married and if all were to go well, I would like to have my own house, have some money put away, and start making some mixed babies! :)
I'm going to be 25 next April and maybe I'm having one of those quarter century crisis' but moves need to be made soon before I flip my shit. I'm hoping some job opportunities we'll pan out this week and that I'll be on the start to something great soon.
Fingers crossed.

Getting back to school can be so hard to do sometimes. Good for you that you're already getting your stuff together to go. Hope all your credits transfer!
I remember last summer when I was unemployed AND homeless and felt like I was just floating around without a purpose. When it all falls into place though its the BEST feeling in the world!
Awww... I had a quarter-life crisis... I'm a few months from 28 and it's still not over, lol!
No but really, I hope everything works out for you. It's hard to look at other people's lives and see all the greatness they're up to or even just that they have a steady job BUT where you are right now is exactly where you're meant to be in this world and good things will surely follow. Until then, go out and enjoy the Summer weather!
I am the same way. I make so many different kinds of list and almost wish my whole life was planned out already because I want a plan. My life is currently up in the air because hubs and I are trying to decided if we want to stay here or move. I.hate.it. I wish we just knew what to do.
Yay for getting back in to the school groove!!!
maybe school will help you feel like theres some structure again? moving, looking for jobs, planning a wedding are aall supier stressful. maybe you and Big Man should take a mini vacay!
or I can send you some yummy stuff? lol
Aww honey you make it seem like you're SO old. Haha. You have SO much time ahead of you and so many things going on in your life that are GOOD. I'm jealous that you're back with your family now. Living away from mine has been so hard. Missing all the birthdays and family things always bothers me- but you get to be right smack in the middle of your family again. Just take the time to enjoy what you've got going on in your life RIGHT NOW. Making plans is always a good thing but don't let it get in the way of enjoying the life you're living now.
First of all, UGH for reminding me that I'll be 25 two months before you. Now I feel ollllllllld!!!!!!
Second, yay for getting back to school! I am physically and mentally exhausted, but I know that being back in school [while working way too much at this point] will be worth it in the long run.
I have a friend who is unemployed and she's been volunteering to keep busy and put some activity on her resume. Maybe you could do that until something pans out. I think it's wonderful that you're making strides to go back to school!! Fingers crossed something fabulous crosses your path ASAP! : )
Good luck with going back to school. I have a love hate relationship with the academic world. I love being a learner but hate the read-memorize-regurgitate way of learning that most public schools employ.
Contemplating going back for my PhD soon so I may be back to the books myself soon!
Aww, hun, I'm totally thinking of and praying for you! I know how frustrating that can be! I'd feel the same way! It will happen, soon! I promise! And good for you for going back to school! That's awesome and I'm so proud of you for taking future steps even while things are so frustrating!
have you thought about going back to school this fall if nothing comes through on the job front?
I know how you feel! I was the same way last summer. Unemployment doesn't sit well for super-planners like us! My fingers are crossed for you :)
It is great that you are going back to school! I just recently started back to school to get my masters. It is a hard decision, but the benefits in the long run are totally worth it.
Good luck girl!
Eesh! Slowly (I mean SLOOOOOWLY) I'm starting to learn that things do happen when they're supposed to. Thats the hardest concept for us planners. Ugh!
YAY for going back to school! I'm such a dweeb and I love school (obviously! I'm a teacher) and love learning and being a student. I'm going back to continue my Master's this fall and I'm pumped! Just think, you get to buy cute notebooks, pens, and highlighters! Haha!
I think looking into school is a great idea! I know how depressing the no job stuff can be so hopefully being proactive like this will help.
You can do it! Think positive...set your goals high! I just know you can!
25 isn't bad, and you are young at heart ;)
ahhhh, the quarter century crisis, I lived through it.
oh i remember my quarte-life crisis -- 4 years ago!
congrats on getting back to school!!!
Now, thats my girl! I am in support of school anytime any day! Please be prepared to learn and get those grades, it will come handy in a job search. All the best. Let me know if you ever need help!
