The step by step survival kit to making it (according to me)
Honestly some days I wish I was six years old where my mom would plan out my life: like coordinating my play dates instead getting thrown into endless group chats (thank you Apple for adding the remove button) or grocery shopping and not knowing whether to get the organic fruit over the regular because you’re on a college budget and wish your mom still filled up your fridge. Unfortunately, that’s growing up, and growing up is a bitch but it doesn’t have to be the whole time. I learned how to add certain tactics into this “phenomenon” of adulating and semi making it without starving and not balling to my mom once a week.
1) First off, get a damn job
Litrally make a resume and work. Do not get some BS job, find a job or internship that in the long run will benefit you in someway.
2) Save your money
AKA do not get your own credit card, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE NO JOB.
3) Learn to not give a F* about people/things
Trust me, theres a time and place for every person and thing in your life. If a person is not adding anything good into your life, then cut them out. The amount of likes you get on you're instagram or the amount of followers you have is not going to get you a job after college FYI. Trim the fat people.
4) Do not waste time
While youre sitting watching a movie, you can be building your resume and reading. Wasting time on BS is one of the biggest ways you can hurt your mind. Spending time on irrelevant people and outings is a waste.
5) Becoming somewhat of a homebody
Instead of boozing every night, take a day off and chill. Trust me that bar and that margarita will be at the same place you left them.
I am no poster child for perfection nor do I ever plan on it. These life steps don’t make you stop being fun, they just make you more mature and responsible. I didn’t know that was supposed to be a problem. Have fun, be fun but learn that your last years of college are the foundations to your future. They decide how much you'll get paid after college, or if you'll even get a interview. Nothing comes easy and you have to work for it. Do ever expect for things to just fall into your lap because “you know someone,” or “ my family knows someone.” Real names and real people who have legit jobs do not give a flying f*, if you're up to the standards and it looks that you actually busted your ass for something they’ll take you. So you make growing up your bitch. Learn how to manipulate the fear everyone has of growing up and make that fear your strength.
