So, I graduated college on Saturday. I have my bachelors of arts in fashion business, after three years of taking classes year round. I still can’t believe it, I come home and always think, “What homework do I have?” and then, “Wait a second….” 

This weekend was oddly emotional for me. Thank goodness I have Derek, he seriously helped me so much, even though some of it was because of him, in good ways. This was one of the biggest events that he was actually able to be at. I was overwhelmed by it. 

Now, I am working full-time in a new position, still retail though. And so far so good. 

So here is summer. 

Finals are over. All the work is done! Just a networking breakfast in the morning tomorrow and the celebration can begin. 

I’m not sure when it will hit me that I am about to be done with college, but it hasn’t yet. Maybe because its been a whirlwind couple of days. I’ve just been learning and living, for real. Everything can be a learning experience, right? 

It’s the end of an era! Yesterday was my last day at White House | Black Market. I have been working there for over three years, and finally I’m done. I became the Sales Lead last fall and have since been working my tail off. They were having me work more than I wanted while I am a full-time student in my last year. Nevertheless, I did it. Last semester I had awesome grades, worked full time and had five classes. 

That job was ridiculously stressful. I was one of the only ones that tried, I felt as one of the only that really worked hard. It was tough to try to run the show with little support and I wasn’t treated well. Also there was no where for me to grow to. I could only keep doing sales. It is a sinking ship and I am so glad I jumped off. 

Then I found a new job, with tons of potential to grow. Full-time, with benefits, just sales for now, but the sky is kind of the limit here. So, I start tomorrow, train for a week and then have a week off for finals and graduation!!!

I’m becoming an adult.
