I still can't believe it is actually happening. The biggest goal on my "Feeling 22" bucket list has been achieved. I got a job. A full-time, day shifts, PR job! Western Governors University called me yesterday and offered me a position as their PR Coordinator. I start March 3rd.
I feel like I've been waiting forever to hear about this job. I started interviewing about a month ago. I had a phone interview and then was called back for an in-person interview. After that I interviewed with the rest of the PR team. The final step was to complete a writing test, which happened to be a profile piece, exactly like the one's I had written for the hospital. With each step, I felt like I was getting a little closer to my goal. After my first interview, I could picture myself working there, which is always a good sign. I couldn't be happier with the ways things turned out.
When I started this blog I figured it would be mostly about looking for a job, crazy interviews, etc, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen now. I'm totally okay with that. I'm super excited to start working in PR again. My internship at the hospital ended two weeks ago. I was really sad to see it go. I loved interviewing and writing about different people and looking into the hospital's past. When it ended, I wasn't sure when I was going to be able to do PR things again. Thankfully I don't have to wait long!
I'm going to miss Winegars and the people I worked with. We had some fun times. As scary as it is, I'm ready for this new adventure. I feel like I'm supposed to be at WGU. I can't wait to get started!

Decisions, Choices and Opportunities OH MY!
Being a grown up sucks.
My diploma came yesterday. Having it in my hands makes the fact that I am done with college very real. I knew I was done with school. I was ready to be done with school when the semester ended and accepted that I wouldn't be going back anytime soon. Having the diploma here just makes it true. That chapter of my life is completely over.
Now I have to think about being an adult. There are so many decisions and choices that I need to make. Where do I want to work? What do I want to do? Where do I want to live? For a long time I said I wanted to move out of Northern Utah. Vegas and California have been tossed around as possible destinations since they are warmer and have the entertainment industries. Now that the possibility of moving is real, I'm not sure what I want. I know I want to a place of my own, I'm just not sure how far away I want to go. Am I even old enough to take on the world yet?
Another thing that scares me is getting a new job. What if I get there and I really hate it? What if I get a job and I realize that I really don't know how to do what they want? Jobs are not like clothes. You can't return them if you decide you don't like it.
I feel like I have so many decisions I need to make and no idea what to do. Being a grown up is not as exciting as it seemed when I was 12. I'm going back to being two. Someone pass me a sippy cup and a blanket. I think I need a nap.
