Grovers exist outside the bubble! The fusion of my home and school world. Rachel Lee, this one's for you! It's always great to see Grovers outside of school. I love importing my school friends into the real world--it's weird, but I like it. I met up with some friends downtown Inner Harbor. They were at the Next conference, which is like a Christian conference with speakers like CJ Mahaney and Joshua Harris. I think no matter where we are, we'll always be Grovers. It's comforting to know that there's a huge network of people to support and encourage you, even if you're not on campus anymore. This may be even better, because there's no Noodles & Company in Grove City.
Here's some moments when I felt grown up/mature this past week:
- Going to the dentist BY MYSELF and having my wisdom teeth pulled. Hopefully my wisdom didn't leave with my teeth.
- Getting a tax refund and making a money budget. Don't forget to tithe!
- Talking to my mom about traffic and what is the best route to take to work.
- Using public transportation and paying the full rate (not the student rate!)
- Taking my car into the body shop to get an estimate after getting rear-ended. I remember the days when I rode a bicycle everywhere...
I'm embracing growing up and making the transition into the real world. It's both exciting and scary, but with every moment, I am learning that I can be independent and that I am been prepared to handle these situations. Even though I'm learning to be "independent," I am reminded that I am not in this alone, that my friends are in the same boat and I can count on them for comfort and support.
