It's Been a Long Time Coming...

First, it has been forever since I've posted. I suppose grown-up life has gotten the best of me. Starting a new job is one of the most frustrating things I've done in my life to date. Not only do I not know what I'm doing 85% of the time, but everyone I'm customer servicing thinks I do know what I'm doing... this make for a shit-storm of problems. Luckily, I have fantastic co-workers who have been heaping me through it.

What prompted this post, you ask? Well, I've been working my tail off all morning, and I just needed a break. As I leaned back in my hammock, I thought, what do I love to do that I haven't done in a long time? That would be writing, of course. So here I am.

Today is one of those perfect pre-fall days. The sun is shining, there is a slight breeze, the temperature is just right, and Pandora is playing everything song I love in the perfect order. Things simply cannot get better, but I can't help but find myself missing some of my regular fall staples. I miss sitting on the Quad with friends doing homework and chatting about life. I miss adventures in the park late at night. I miss cooking big dinners for all my friends. I miss football games and fire pit nights and hot chocolate with roommates. Fall is my favorite season, and it seems like many of the things that make it my favorite are missing. I know that next fall things will be different. I will be accustomed to this new grown-up life. But for now I am floundering in this awkward in-between state of college student and adult.
