Oh, hi.
SO sorry for the awkward silence lately. I started a new job in a new school that TOOK OVER MY LIIIIFE last semester.
But I am so excited to announce that OC is back on track with new posts every Monday! Aside from acclimating to my new schedule, 2015 was a big growing year, too (responsible-sounding way of saying that I did a lot of whining).
My first year after grad school reminded me a lot of my first year after undergrad. I guess no matter how old you are, finishing a big project can leave you feeling a little like, "okay, what's next?".
Change can be tough, but it usually always makes us better/smarter/stronger, too!
Here are some of the biggest lessons I learned in 2015:
1 | Never give up on what you're searching for- you'll get there.
2 | Hard work gets noticed and it pays off. Remember that when you're "in the trenches" and wondering if it will ever get better.
3 | Sometimes you're already where you need to be.
4 | If you know you can do better, keep working.
5 | Do what you love. Life is too short to even complete that.
6 | Not everyone will love or approve of everything you do or how you do it. Forget them. This is your thing, not theirs.
7 | Jump in and figure out the details later. Not everything you do will turn into a huge success, nor will you want it to but at least you can say you took the opportunity.
8 | There is something really refreshing about how our personalities evolve over time.
9 | Promote the heck out of yourself and your work. If you know you're good, don't ever question yourself.
10 | In this day and age, there is no excuse to "not know how to" do something. Google it and learn to be great.
11 | Adult life is not that scary once you start.
12 | Your family will be there even when you and your old friends start to grow apart.
13 | Excess is disgusting. If you can do without it, do without it.
(Important exceptions: Meiomi and anything from Target's dollar-ish section)
14 | Invest everything in those you truly care about.
15 | Do what makes you happy and there are no regrets.
Cheers, y'all! And happy 2016! :D
