Hello real world... what now?

From managing money, setting up a house/apartment and choosing healthy and cheap food to surviving at work without doing a drop kick at someone’s head (figuratively… of course), I can share my knowledge of how to survive once out from behind the protection of Mommy and Daddy dearest.

Please don’t get me wrong, I am no expert at living life, but I’ve realized there are lots of little things I do that make my life easier, that my friends, and many people I know, do not know about.

 A little about me before I begin? Ok sure! Thanks for asking.

I’m 25, and I live with my little sister in a small 2 bedroom apartment in Tampa Florida. I am the oldest of 5 kids, (so I do know how to change a diaper), I work 40 hours a week at Staples and, if I can fit it in, I work 5-10 extra hours a week at Party City.

I have my bachelor’s degree in English Professional/Technical Writing and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Don’t get me wrong, you won’t catch me not moving forward, but when I go home at night, and write in my journal, I realize that I’m just going to go. I have the utmost confidence though, that I will find something wonderful to look forward to every day. Maybe writing to think unknown, arbitrary audience is exactly what I need.

 I am excited about the prospects of this project as I leap into something new and unexpected.

    1. At first, I wanted to become an English teacher, however I found that I do not have the patience for teenagers.
