On January 27 2011 I turned 25…. I had been dreading this day for a very very VERY long time. Everyone I knew always said that when you turn 21 everything goes downhill from there. I never believed it until I had my 22 birthday. People would say that at least when you turn 25 your car insurance goes down, i don’t mind paying if I can keep my youth.
If you would have asked me 10 years ago, “Where do you see your self in 10 years?” Never would I have said still in school, just moved back in with my parents (temporary because I will be studying in Rome this summer) and still wondering what I am going to do when I graduate. When I entered school the first time, I thought it would take me 4 maybe 5 years to complete my degree and I would graduate with my teaching degree. I was planning on teaching somewhere close by because I would obviously start thinking about planning a family.
But that is not my life, and I wouldn’t change it for the world even though some days I think I might. 25 is a big milestone and I think I am handling it just fine. It has totally had its ups and downs but any age does. At the beginning of the year I told myself I was not going to be a Debbie Downer about turning 25 and it is working out perfectly. I vowed that this summer was going to be the best summer of my life and it will be. I have saved to take the summer off of work. While I am not working I plan on studying in Rome for 5 weeks and traveling through Europe on the weekends. When I get back home I plan on taking a road trip up the east coast.
25 you creeped up on me way too fast , but that doesn’t scare me. I will handle you with grace. Bring it
