30 before 30

Ok, so I want to try this whole 30 before 30 thing. I don't have a life-long bucket list...I can think of a million things I would want to put on there! But I've had fun thinking of things I want to do before I turn 30--only 6 more years to go!

But, I need your help! I've gotten the list started--you can find it here--but I'm stuck. So what are some things on your bucket list, and what things should I consider adding to mine?!

Home is where the heart is.

So usually I'm not much of an emotional person at all. My mom says I have no heart because I don't show emotion about a lot of things -- so not true, of course! But we're opposites in that respect, because she has no problem showing emotion! 

But here lately, with the prospect of so many things in my life changing, I feel like I may cry at any moment. Looking for a job and knowing that when I find one, there's a 99% chance I'll have to move away, breaks my heart. Athens is my home. These are my best friends. And I don't want to go.




Athens is the first and only place I've lived on my own. When I finally got ready to 'leave the nest,' this is where I wound up. I was never a Georgia fan, never wanted to come to UGA, but I came. And I fell in love. So, I have no desire to leave. Except that deep down, I know I can't stay here forever. I know most people don't, and I'm sure everyone who has had the best four (or so...) years of their life here find it hard to move on from this stage of life. It's hard to really grow up, and head out into the real world. 




There's not really words to describe the pull this place has on you, or what it is exactly I feel when I get so emotional about leaving this place. But I know that leaving may be the hardest thing I've done in my life up to this point.

WILW


It's Wednesday!! ...& I'm joining up with Jamie for WILW!

So, what am I loving today?

First of all...I'm loving that it's almost the weekend, & I'm off this Saturday! Woohoo!

I'm loving this video I've seen going around Facebook for weeks now. I finally took the time to stop and watch it and WOW.




And as evidenced by how much time I waste on the site...I am always loving Pinterest!!







And, one last question for you guys! I am working on a sort of 'bucket list' list for myself. -- 30 things I want to see/do/accomplish by the time I'm 30 (AKA less than 6 years!!!) So...what are some things on your bucket list that I should consider adding to mine??

Job Hunting is...well, a JOB!

Hello my long lost friends.

So honestly...I have multiple motivations behind getting back on this blog I've neglected for oh so long. It allows me to procrastinate writing this cover letter for a job application that I should be doing. I read another blog post today telling me all the reasons why I should blog. And...well, I'm bored. So, here goes. We'll see if I can keep up with this for a little bit longer this time!

This job search thing...TERRIBLE. I know everyone said it was going to be hard and tried to prepare us for it before graduation but oh my gosh. When reality actually hits you it's a whole different ball game. Looking for a job and applying for dozens and sending resumes and writing cover letters and composing emails...well, that's a job all by itself! But I have to keep doing it, because I know something will eventually work out, and I have to have a job. Like, ASAP.

So, prayers are much appreciated as I continue my job search!

I have lots more to say but I'm going to hold off so I'll have something to say tomorrow! Not to mention, my Dawgs are playing Kentucky on ESPN right now, so I've got to go cheer them on!

GO DAWGS!!
