Well, I thought I would write about my life in the last two semesters, as this is the busiest I believe I have ever been in my life.
I am 25 years old, and I have been working full time since I started college when I was 20. When I started college I was bar tending full time. In fall of 2013, I decided I needed to get out of the night life, and into a day job, so I used my associates degree to get a job at an interior construction firm. So, since the fall of 2013, I have been working full time during the day, and going to school full time at night and online.
In the fall of 2014, I added my internship hours into my hectic schedule. I would work my internship in the middle of the day, and work at my job before and after. I ended up working nearly 60 hours, plus my 15 credit hours of school.
This semester I was promoted at my job to a salary position as an account manager. I am now juggling my 40+ hours full time job, 15 school credits, and wedding planning. My work has been very flexible towards school, and has allowed me to work some of my hours around fitting in my internship, and classes. In fact, they were pleased with my ability to manage full time work and full time school, and thought that was a great skill to my new position as an account manager.
I feel very thankful to have landed a full time job that has promoted me to a career position. I know it is a lot of work, and time put into working full time, and going to school full time, but I am already seeing the hard work pay off.
To look back on these last two semesters, I feel crazy for taking on so much, but at the same time I am very pleased with myself, and excited for how I have set things up. Also, I have really learned to manage my time very efficiently, and feel silly to have thought before these last two semesters I was "too busy" to fit something in. After learning to manage work, school, wedding planning, family, and friends, I know now that I should never feel "too busy" to make a phone call or meet up with someone or fit something else in.
Here's to eight more weeks of chaos!
These last two semesters have been super busy for me as well! I have had to work, go to school, and complete my internship. I cannot wait until May! Even though our lives are crazy right now I believe that it is going to help us in the long run because we can time manage and we know we can accomplish whatever we put our minds too! Congrats on the wedding planning, the working, the going to school, and interning! Here's to graduating! Yay!
