Then i'm flying out Sunday morning before the sun pops out. It's funny, in school they teach us the basic skills so that we can survive on our own when we graduate. We learn math, english, history, painting, even interior design. But not once during my entire high school career did anyone tell me just how much stuff you need for college. Never in my life have i had to think about laundry detergent or stain remover past the point of taking it from the cabinet and putting it in the washer. Doing laundry is fine and dandy but dang have you ever looked at the price of laundry detergent? You have to work for two hours at a minimum wage job to pay for the stuff. Anyway, we spent all day driving around Minnesota picking up last minute everything. Ikea, Mall of America, Target, Costco, Trader Joe's, and an ice cream cone for good measure. The worst part is even though my living room is filled to the brim with boxes i still feel like i do not have everything. we'll call it college freshman anxiety. Another thing worth noting is that today is the last day of July which hardly seems possible. It is crazy how fast time passes when you're working full time. For once though, i'm not dreading the start of school and it feels very grown up to be saying that. Gone are the days of first day of school outfits and new lunch boxes. They've made room for never ending student fees, textbooks, and tuition costs. Truthfully though, I am so very excited.
Happy Wednesday!
xoxo.
