My life, in a nutshell, is me being twenty-two-years old, a woman, and a recent graduate from University. You might think I know exactly what I want in life and what I am going to do but actually, I have no idea. All I know is that I might stay working at a retail store forever, I mean there isn’t anything wrong with that but it isn’t what I want.
It’s harder than I thought to find what I want. When I first started applying for universities in grade 12 I thought being accepted was the ultimate goal in life, it is but it isn’t. There is so much more than that. Applications, loans, GPA, career choices, GROWING UP. It went by so fast, in a blink of an eye I was graduating, moving out, and turning twenty-two. A lot of things changed which I wasn’t ready for, and it is okay. I always thought to turn twenty was knowing everything in life and having everything, but the reality is when you are twenty you are just starting to learn how the world works and how you should work with the world.
Now that I live with my boyfriend and am currently unemployed, I have realised that there is so much for me to learn and to know about myself and what I want in life. It’s a new chapter that I am starting, I don’t know how I am going to start it or how it’s going to end, all I know is that I need to learn from it.
I hope by sharing my lifestyle as a twenty-two-year-old with the world, will bring positive vibes to any other person out there who just graduated, doesn’t have a job, and feels like they aren’t given an opportunity. I gotchu. I know how you feel you aren’t alone and you don’t need to have everything settled yet, I mean we are just in our twenties right!
