On January 31, 2017, I left behind my work laptop, all my notes, my log ins, my phone, etc. and I walked away from my corporate job with one goal in mind: to figure out what the hell I wanted to do with my life.
I have to finish school. I want to travel. I have bigger dreams than sitting behind a desk - don't get me wrong, I loved the company I worked for, but it wasn't fulfilling. I've watched too many people in my life work jobs they hated just because they felt that "it was the right thing to be doing" and honestly - why? Why is sitting behind a desk the "right thing to do" when your passion is owning your own business/restaurant/boutique? Who says? It is how we were raised. Go to college, get your degree, get a job, save money, retire and do whatever you want. Yeah, not a bad plan but it isn't for me. So, I decided to quit, and return to school full-time (because yes, college is important to me). So far, I haven't done as much as I had originally planned. I failed the NASM exam the first time I took it because I crammed more than I actually studied for the test. I haven't traveled as much. I did attend St. Patty's Day in Savannah, Georgia with my friends and I did drive one of my oldest friends out to Boise, Idaho so that they could follow their dream (and you can see that here) Now I'm going to travel with the wind (no I'm not) while attending school full-time and working on becoming a certified personal trainer. It's a basic plan, and for the past 3 months it has been pretty hard to actually keep up with that plan. Now is my time. Two weeks until classes start for the summer semester. Three weeks until I leave for my West Coast road trip. Let the FUNemployment begin.
