First Job

Searching for your first job can be hard, especially when you don't really know what you want to do or where to start. It can be very intimidating to put yourself out there, but in my opinion, it's worth it in the long run.

Your first job gives you work experience, something you're going to need for future jobs. For example at the paper that you're dying to work for when you graduate college. It also gives you a stronger sense of independence, you're working for your own paycheck, you're out in the world paving the road for your future. It's exciting to know that you'll be able to pay your own way from now on, you won't depend on your parents, or in my case, my grandparents for everything anymore. It's the next step to becoming an adult, it gives you some responsibility.

I definitely had a hard time trying to find a job, I had no idea where to start, I was stubborn and didn't want to ask for help. Like my aunt said, you don't have to be afraid to ask for help if you need it, once again... she was right. I constantly need to be reminded that I'm not in this alone, life would be very boring and lonely without others to help you along the way. There's a fine line between being independence and being stubborn, I tend to cross that line all the time, we all do at one point or another.

The fact of the matter is, I'm excited for this new chapter, I'm not nervous. I'm... elated, fancy way of saying I'm excited, and I am.

You can never be certain of what tomorrow has in store for you. You kind of have to take it day by day. And that's all anyone can ask of you really.
