Well, I've learned many things this week about being a Grown Up.
1. Getting your first paycheck is exciting AND terrifying.
2. Going out to dinner for the first time after you get your first paycheck is also terrifying. Can I afford a $5.36 dinner?!?! Yeah. But still. (Sam's on the Square on 4th and Austin-- SO GOOD and cheap!)
3. Regardless of where you live, the whole world works on Eastern Standard Time. For example, when you can't remember your credit card password and get locked out online and have to call, they're not really that helpful... because it's 5:15 in New York City, and the person you're speaking to in Bangalore... well... it's probably 8 or 9 pm there.
4. Your body gets more tired after you hit 22 1/2. ;-) Kind of a joke, but really.
5. Credit cards really may be a waste... what's the point anyway when you have the money in a checking account at the moment you're using the credit card?
6. Even if you're not married or even close to becoming married, your parents will STILL turn your bedroom into a guest bedroom-- even if that makes 2 guest bedrooms in the house. (I'm not super offended, just caught off guard a bit.)
7. It's even more important now than in college to make special time for friends.
a) I don't see them on campus, because I don't GO to campus anymore
b) and my days are so draining sometimes that I just need a good laugh or a good friend!
8. College roommates really are great to have around after college. :-)
That's all for now. I hope someone is reading this and at least getting a good giggle or something.
You did make me giggle! I love you so much and your bedroom is still yours, just decorated differently with a bigger bed in it.
