How I did it
It made me
Excited 
How I did it: Continue to fill out applications on a daily basis (including weekends). Every morning (yes, I said morning) fill out applications. Either in person or on the internet. Go to career/job fairs. Pick up business cards and give out my personal business card. Dress professional. People have to know who you are. The best saying is "It's not who you know, it's who knows you" because you can know someone but that doesn't mean they know you… Read how I did it…
It made me
Relieved
How I did it: I believe the best way to move is first, be on good terms with the people you are currently living with. You will need help! Can't stress that enough. I moved out of my parents house when I was 17, just of ouf high school, and straight into college. My college wasn't around the block either where you can come home on the weekends to visit friends and family. It was in the far reaches of the north where you walked to class in snow that… Read how I did it…

Moving has never been fun. I have moved 12 different times in the last 7 years and lived in 14 different places. Some probably would say I have commitment issues. And I would say “YOU think?”. Besides commitment, it’s hard to find a place in college that lets you stay during the summer. It’s hard to find a nice, in general. You move in and end up, moving out due to the uneventful experience of living on your own. Especially if you have room/house mates. But, I would like to believe, my new place….this new Townhouse will allow me to work on that commitment thing. College is over (for now) and my career is starting. It’s time to move out of those boxes and move into the cabinets and dressers. You know what else is starting…paying back those student loans. One thing at a time…one thing at a time!!!

Ok, this may sound vague, but I just said it differently than others. Someone would say “Go to bed earlier”. Others might say “Get more hours of sleep”. All in all, I am a night person. However, I live in a world were the hours of operation on average are between 8am – 5pm. Those are my hours of sleep :) In order to operate smoothly in the morning and during the day, I need to do things before I go to bed. Like make my lunch, prepare breakfast, set things by the door so I don’t forget anything or have to run upstairs to get them at the last moment, clean up the dishes, turn off all the lights so I don’t have a high light bill, set clothes out and iron them if needed, make sure my alarm is set so I actually do wake up in the morning, read my book so I reach my other goal of 52 books, and finally of course take a shower, wash my face and brush my teeth. Night-ty Night :)
