When will real life actually hit me in the face and say “grow up?” I keep waiting for this burst of inspiration or mobility to come from somewhere deep within me and it never happens. Why can’t I just start packing my shit to move to Chicago? Why can’t I bring myself to learn what I’m supposed to be doing? Is it maybe because I’m still in a college mentality? I’m living in a college town-the epitome of one, actually- and I work on campus. I’m 20 years old, and I’ve been offered a real, salary paying job, but it hasn’t really sunk in yet. I haven’t even been to the campus where I’m about to be working, and everyone is expecting so much from me already. I only have a month, people. Please chill.
But then, real life doesn’t have a month. Real life barely has 24 hours to get shit done, and I’ve been gifted with a month, so why can’t I just utilize the time I have in the most efficient way possible? A lackadaisical attitude can carry over from undergrad to real life, and it’s poisonous. If what we need is more motivation, then its time for us to get it. We have less than a month.
