It's been 176 Days since I walked across that stage at graduation. And in that time my life has changed, maybe not as drastically as I had hoped for. I'm still living at home, which isn't too bad since I have my own space, but I could certainly use my own place.I'm working for the Y and my job is an interesting new opportunity, I just wish I was working with a slightly older age group, that would help save my sanity. Thankfully, the best part of my job is working with so many of my friends. The Y is a real supportive environment, and I hope they are willing to help me move up and onward to my next step.
So I am in a weird place now, as the time where most of the Res Life Conferences are popping up. I am watching all my RA and now New RD friends prepare for all these opportunities. It's strange being the outsider now, I'm watching from the sideline and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I am proud of all my friends and advisors who are expanding their experience but I wish I was there, working with a staff as the prepare for a presentation, or leading a staff meeting as we get a building wide program. I miss being at a desk talking with residents and RAs about classes and campus news. I think the only way for me to get over missing reslife is to either get back in the game or to find a new one. I'll keep looking at jobs and hopefully will return to NESAPC next May. I know now to promote myself and talk about how I can help people. Time to put on my coat, throw all these new experiences in my bag and head on down this long trail.
