Life Unpaused

Ever since I graduated back in March, I've felt as though someone had hit the "Pause" button on my life.

As late as February, I believed I was going to graduate school in the fall.

I was extremely excited when I was offered a nannying position for the summer. It could not have been a more perfect job- I would make money during the summer and be able to jet off to the UK for grad school come fall.

Following my rejection from my dream school though, I sat down and thought a lot about grad school and if it was what I truly wanted to do.

I concluded that grad school wasn't in my immediate future.

Since I had already committed my summer to the nannying job, my life felt like it was on hold.

Whenever I spoke to a potential employer, they would ask, "And when could you start?"

"Late August or September." I would reply, before explaining my nannying situation.

This never went over very well.

When I actually began nannying, searching for a job became impossible between little time to search and literally no time to interview.

The kids I nannied for went back to school today, and even though it was really difficult saying goodbye to them, I feel as though someone has hit the "Play" button my life.

I can move forward now and properly begin my postgraduate life.

And it feels amazing.
