all grown up...

As many of you already know, today was the very first day of my very first out of college, real life, big girl job. It was a long day...that was pretty hectic and unorganized, but it was still a pretty darn good day! I am SUPER under qualified for the position but I have plans to fake it till I make it! I am sure there will plenty of posts about the job, as for now the day can be summed up by two photos...

This first picture is what my purse (why yes, it IS Coach, thanks for asking) looked like when I started my day this very morning. Please don't mind the tampons front and center. A girls gotta go what a girls gotta do...
This second picture is what my purse (yes, still the Coach one) looked like at the end of my day. Holy chaos Batman! Basically I had SO much paperwork shoved in the bag I feared for it's safety. If one of the straps would have ripped I would have shanked someone...

When I got home this evening I stopped by and picked up the mail, where there was this very bossy letter addressed to me. 'DO NOT FOLD'. Um. Hey packaging don't tell me what to do, aight? Anywho...

Said bossy ass package contained this lovely gem! Yep. Four years of higher education and I get a paper signed, sealed, delivered, it's mine!

So, what does this mean? It means that I have my first big girl job, and am now in possession of my diploma, documented by this very adult photograph. Brace yourself world...here I come...(twss! sorry I had to do it)...

So, what was YOUR first big time job? If you haven't had one yet, what is your dream job? Share with me in the comments section! Work horror stories are ALWAYS welcome...obvi.

My first big time job? Being myself. hahaha I haven't had one yet. I have gone to three semesters of college and failed one and a half of them. Oh the joy of being dumb!! Oh well. I hope you love your new job!!!

congrats!! :D:D as you know, i don't have a job yet... :( i have no clue what my dream job is... maybe editor of an online magazine? who knows. my dream life is to have a job that isn't 9-5 so that it doesn't consume my life; but not too many get that luxury.. maybe a stay at home mom! yeah! now gotta find the guy!

i got my diploma recently too! except my mailman didn't understand the concept of "do not fold" and folded it, so there is a lovely crease down the middle.

I am not going to count my current job, though it counts for other people. I hate though...so my dream job is what i'm going to school for, Interior Design & Architecture. In 3ish to 4ish years I should finally be there. Congrats on your job!!

Also your purse is super neat in the morning...mine looks like your end of the day purse...all day. Sad panda.

Well, I don't have a diploma like you do (high school OR college) but I do have a job! I don't know if it's a big girl job, but I teach piano to 6 kids, ranging from 5-8 years old, 3 boys, 3 girls. And it's basically awesome. Except little kids are squirmy like no other, so if I had a "horror", which I don't really, it'd be trying to get them to stay still and focus.

But it pays and I enjoy it! Haha, I'm planning on paying for all my college applications and such with it... and hopefully a bunch of the actual tuition.

Yay!!! You survived your first day! I'm so excited for you and I can't wait to hear more about this job!

I also never knew your psych program was a BA instead of a BS like mine. Pretty sure they both suck equally, just sayin'.

Love your face! <3

I love you! I am proud of you! I can't say it enough! Welcome to the big girl world!

Jilian said...

Yea for both...first day on the job AND your diploma!!! Sweet!

Yay for the diploma! I flipped when I got mine in the mail. I'm glad your first day went well. I still haven't had my first big girl job. Although, I'm starting a paid internship in September with Cahokia Mounds. PS...I hate when my purse is all pretty and then by the end of the day ends up as a big mess.
