Who knew growing up was so hard?

As little kids we always wanted to be a grown up and we could not wait to grow up. Now being a grown up, I wonder why little kids say that now. As much fun as it is to grow up and be able to do things on our own and not have to rely on someone else for something and not have to always ask permission to do something, it still has its down side.
     I am not going to lie I love my life and am quite proud of myself for where I have gotten and for the things I have done, but it has not been as easy thing. Growing up is hard, having to work just to pay for things and having to pay for school and doctors and well everything else. It makes me miss when my parents used to pay for everything. Then again at least I don't have to pay rent.
     Over the past few months I have been getting everything ready for school. While most of my friends are finishing up there last semester of there first year of college, I am finishing mine and starting my second year as well, at a different school. Let me tell ya its been stressful.
    As of  well.... as of tomorrow, I am officially starting my CNA classes so that I can get my certificate  and  get started on my career. I am super excited, but also a little nervous.  I have not actually attended college classes on campus. I have been all online, and now I have to actually go to a school and work with other people, people I have never meet before!I still am excited though.
   Work though has been crazy. I have been managing a different store then the one I was before, and that one has been quit an adventure. I don't like this store much, but now I am kinds starting to like it. I also put my two weeks in........ three weeks ago. Although I resigned as a manage I am still with the company and am not just an assistant manager. I now have the hours that will allow me to focus on my school, but also be able to work and get my money, which it nice. I love working with this other manager, she is amazing and such a wonderful boss. We have fun, but we also get things done. I have not enjoyed my job as much as I do in quite a long time.
   As stressful as life has been for me lately I am so grateful for this opportunity and I am so thankful for my education and being able to move forward in my life. It is exciting to start a new chapter in my life and I am looking forward to it.
