After College Funk

My most recent pickle.. Where do I go from here?
God bless him, my husband works really hard and takes very good care of me! To become a RD, I had to complete a year-long internship and then had to study for my boards. Therefore I have not worked in a while and am currently on the grueling job hunt for my 'big girl job'! Resulting, my recent weeks have consumed of a lot of Netflix and reading by the pool.




This is my current read. Usually I go for something a little more enjoyable and light. However I have read all of my books and am waiting on my library card to come in the mail! Nerd alert! Through my RD internship I never had that epiphany moment where I was like 'yes this is exactly what I want to do'. So I have really been struggling with where I see my career down the road. After reading through some of the chapters I know that I am not ready to go off on my own yet but it is definitely something my husband and I would like to venture out and do someday.


While reading by the pool is enjoyable.. I do get very bored. My poor husband has his phone blown up by texts, emails, pictures, and snap chats all day long. And I pounce on him as soon as he gets home, dying for some attention. Throughout college I always had at least two jobs, then my internship was daily from 9am-5pm, and when I studied for my exam I tried to do 5-7 hours a day!! When I wasn't at my internship I was planning my wedding, so I rarely had down time. Now that all of those are over and have yet to find a job.. I get restless.
Here are my pros and cons of that slum in-between school and applying for jobs-
Pros:
  • Started my blog
  • I love having time to read
  • I have a nice tan 
  • Our apartment is really clean
Cons:
  • Finances.. I'm very familiar with the word 'budget'
  • Bored
  • Lonely
  • Would love to meet more people- find some co-worker friends
  • When I don't have a working routine I become lazy
Luckily it is another beautiful day here in Charlotte! The pool is screaming my name and hopefully a nice bike ride with Keith tonight.

Question(s) of the Day:
What are some great books you have read recently?
Have you ever struggled with where you wanted to take your career?

  1. What's meant to be will be! That's what everyone tells me when I go to my interviews. If its not the right job for me then I won't get it. When the right opportunity for you comes you will get it! Keep your chin up! Love you! You will do amazing at anything you do!
