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?
Well I hope you didn’t want to eat at this table for the next 24 or so hours…. It’s finals week!
Hi, I’m Nicole, I’m 21 and about to be a college graduate?!! What the?!
I started a new job this week and have been training everyday, also I have one more week to get through until school is over. Graduation is so soon!
But now, the slowest/fastest week of my bachelors degree is coming!
When big events happen, I reflect a lot. I wonder how did I make it through all this shit with how okay I am right now?! How the fuck did I get here?!
Whatever, I’m about to be there. Done with education, at least for now if I so choose.
Now, I have to do a final for tomorrow’s 9am class.
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.

Seriously goofy what I’ve learned in this class. This is how I use electives at my art school.
Woohoo! Business cards ordered! My school does a networking event for all graduating seniors in my major to meet with industry professionals, so I’m getting all set to wow them!
19 days to graduation!!!
Holy crap!! I gotta get my ass in gear!! But I have some of it figured out. Thank goodness. Lots going on lately…
So I skipped my afternoon class to use the wonderful computers at school and work on my portfolio. I think that was a good choice. Some 3/4 classes this semester are electives, which makes them fun, but it is not so imperative I go to every single class meeting, I also have a bad case of senioritus, I just want to do more portfolio and find a job, no a good job. I have a job, but I really don’t want to have to stay there.
>6 weeks until graduation
It’s 11pm, I’m in a onesie pajama thing, trying to do homework, tired but not sleepy and not excited about the amount of work I have to do tomorrow.
Also, realizing how soon graduation is, how soon so much will change, how soon I will have to change so much. Only 41 days….
Last week I clocked out at 37.5 hours and I am in four classes. I worked the busiest and least staffed days at work and frankly, i am so fed up with my job. I am given tasks and expected to do more than my co-workers that are full-time and higher paid. They do this because they know I’m a hard worker and I will do it, so its going to stop.
Today, I woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck and then ran over by another. I skipped school and I am doing job searching and applying for the day, but I really just want to go back to sleep.
LESS THAN TWO MONTHS TO GRADUATION!!!!!!!!
