The End

No one tells you that after college the real world is HARD- It's no one's fault really because there
is nothing you can really say to a person entering the real world to warn them of what is coming because there is so much to disclose. Its not that the real world is horrible, its just that you grow exponentially fast- which is something that may come as a shock.

I am going to end this blog by stating some lessons that I have learned and some pointers I would give to those entering the real world:

1. You need to be adaptable- if you are a very structured person that is okay but learn now to be flexible because your plans will get derailed every day. If you are flexible then you will be just fine

2. Work life balance is important- no one can state it better then this man- please watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXM7MpoVAD0

3. You can miss your life if you strive for "1 day" meaning- you can fall into a trap of living for a day that does not exist instead of living the life that does exist now

4. YOU are in control of your life- don't let other things make you serve them. There are many parts of life that can pull you to serve them - get tough and take a stand

Go forth into the real world with a positive and brave attitude- its hard for everyone but its those who can arm themselves and bounce back that end up loving and living it just right.

Thank you for your support.

Love,
