I wasn’t going to write anything about this past year or the year ahead. For one, 2014 was not my best year. I hated it at times. I felt like I was in a rut. But that was then and this is now. Ha!
I don’t want to dwell on the past any more. So I haven’t had a job in a while. So it took me five years to finish college and I haven’t been offered a full-time job since graduating in June. So I still live at home.
Things haven’t been working out the way I dreamed they would. I wanted to get a dream job within three months of graduation, be engaged by this time and saving up money for things like furniture and a car. But that’s just life, I guess. Things don’t always work out the way you plan. You just have to keep moving forward.
I’m hoping 2015 is a lot better. Not just hoping actually. I’m ready to make good things happen. In fact, I’m starting a new internship in social media on Tuesday and I’m moving in with my boyfriend this week. That’s two big changes right there.
Thankfully, I have a loving family I don’t mind living with now and an amazing boyfriend I’m excited to move in with. We talked about each of us trying to get our own places and living separately before living together. We’ve talked about a myriad of possibilities in the three years we’ve been together. But it just so happens that he’s three years older than me, graduated a year and a half before, moved out of his parents’ house first, and has been living alone for almost a year now.
I’m so excited to be starting a new internship (although I wish it were a job) and to move all of my stuff in to Paul’s apartment.
This is going to be a good year. It just has to be. Do you feel it?

Congrats on all the milestones, and don’t get down or be hard on yourself about the fact that things did happen as you imagined – they never do!
Thank you! Yeah, life is funny that way.
Very exciting stuff! Hope you get out of your rut this year :) An internship CAN lead to a job so I hope that’s the scenario for you. You can always use that experience and take it elsewhere, once you’re ready. Have fun moving in and have a great week Erin! Happy Hump Day -Iva
Thank you, Iva! You’re always so encouraging.
Congrats on the new changes in your life! Even though things aren’t quite where you want them yet, it’s good that you’re taking steps to get there. Hopefully things will fall in to place for you soon! (I find that they do with just a little nudge in the right direction.) :)
Awww! Yes, maybe I just need that nudge.
