Post Grad Life🎓!

It’s exhilarating not having a damn thing that’s due or having to mentally prepare for the next school semester. I mean don’t get me wrong, knowing your off from school for the summer is thrilling but this time it’s a different kind of thrill. NO MORE SCHOOL….EVER!!

I can’t even explain to you how I have yearned for this type of lifestyle. Where you’re done with school and knowing that you don’t have to follow a certain type of systematic institution policy. It’s almost as if it’s a lifetime achievement where you’ve paid your debt to the world (fulfilling all the expectations placed upon you) and now finding your way through life as an adult.

It’s been exactly 30 days since I graduated. Question is what have I done in that period of time? After countless job applications and subsequently getting rejected from all the interviews I’ve gone to, I have accepted the fact that maybe my destiny is to take the rest of the year and really figure out exactly what it is I want to do with my life. (aside from the norm of getting a job within your field and starting a career/life). Not going to lie, seeing my colleagues starting their careers within their prospective fields, others getting engaged and moving in with their significant others or also moving in to their first apartments makes me feel left out or not on the right path.

This is where the true meaning and understanding that everybody has their own path in life comes to play. Knowing that God’s timing is the best time and whatever is meant for you shall only be for you. In the meantime I have dedicated this time to continue finding myself. This will be a different kind of soul searching that one has to go through after you’ve spent your whole life continuously following a systematic set of rules which we all know as education. If you come to think of it, you’ve been learning from the day you were born and now the term student that has always been a part of your identity does no longer apply.

As you all know food has always been my passion. I have started an Instagram page solely devoted to showcasing my cheffing skills as well as giving food/restaurant reviews. Revising the idea of falling in love back with my music aspirations is also part of the plan. I want to upscale my fashion sense and take it a notch higher. (Whatever that maybe I am not sure). I also want to be cultured in every aspect. That includes more travelling, meeting new people and trying new things. But most of all I want fall deeper in love with myself (flaws & all) as well as those around me. I hope and pray that by next year I will have exhausted everything that I have always wanted to do and have either been afraid or just lazy but most of all, prepared to jump in the adult life and serve what I was put on this earth for!

PS: Stay tuned to this adventure of a roller-coaster that I plan to take! Will be documenting every part of it.
