I can't say I'm completely depressed to say goodbye (although, I bid farewell with an unnecessary bloody mary at a late lunch yesterday), but I'm not completely convinced just yet that I am cut out for this whole 9 - 5 thing. Of course, it's only been one day. But, I have interned at this company long enough to know that working in advertising is not quite as glamorous as movies and television shows make it out to be.
It's hard to do a 180 like this. I mean, I like to be a kid. I'm the type of person that cried on her 20th birthday because it meant I was no longer a teenager. My 22nd birthday and every one thereafter is no means for a celebration because it only means I'm that much closer to 30. I try as often as possible to have fun in everything I do and embrace whatever comes my way, but I have a problem with aging. Can't quite say why, but I do.
I can say, though, that I am pretty excited. I'm excited to start my career and, not to toot my own horn here, but I think I'm definitely getting off on the right foot. I'm working at an ad agency just two weeks after graduation and while it's not my ideal place of work, it's a great starting point. And it's a small company so I'll get a lot of responsibility.
Either way, it's something new - and I've been sort of stuck in a rut lately. So this is good, right?
