Countdown to the Real World: 33 Days

Countdown to Commencement: 26 days.
Countdown to my first day at LHP Telematics: 33 days.

The real world is rapidly approaching. Getting ready to graduate college is one of the scariest things I have every done. Until very recently, nothing has been set in stone, and now that I have accepted a big kid job, everything is falling into place rapidly. Finding a new apartment, packing up the current apartment, and finishing out classes is exhausting. But I've also never been more excited in my life.

I've titled my blog "Blazing New Trails" because I'm setting out into the real world for the first time here soon. After May 12, I will no longer be a full-time student. After May 20, I'll be working my first non-retail job, ever (which has been a long time coming, let me tell you!). I'm headed down a new path I've never walked before.

I'll also be blazing new trails in the work place. On May 20, I become LHP Telematics' very first technical writer. I already have a long list of documents that need to be written and created waiting on me, and I can't wait to start my career doing what I love. I've wanted to be a writer ever since I was little (just ask my parents, I've been making up stories and writing since I was itty-bitty), and that dream will finally come true in 33 days.

33 days. It's going to be a crazy, probably messy, incredibly fun journey!
