I woke up today and realized today is my first day of adulthood.
But John, you’ve been out of college and in the real world for almost 3 years now.
That is true imaginary blog voice. But today is different.
Because it’s Holy Thursday!
True…but that’s not it.
It’s not?
Would you please stop interrupting so I can finish?
But then this blog post would be depressing. I’m here to cheer things up!
Hey look over there! What’s that?
RED BALL! WHEE!!!!
And people say ADD was a bad thing.
Today is the first time since kindergarten that I do not have a spring break. After 19 consecutive years of having spring break, I am no longer a carefree student child. I am now an adult.
17 years of schooling and 2 years of teaching later, I never realized how special those school breaks were until today. For the past 3 years, I traveled during spring break (Paris, Madison, St. Louis, Dallas, Boston and Washington D.C.). This year, I will not be spending that time away, but instead I’ll be in a cubicle. Welcome to the first day of the rest of my life.
However, I cannot help but wonder, where I would be right now if I still had spring break. Where would you go?
Welcome to adulthood. It has many compensations, but going to work during spring break, summer break, and winter break does pretty well suck.
My friend who is a teacher is going to Jamaica. Freaking bitch.
LMAO
By that standard, I have yet to reach adulthood. Thank goodness. Though, I did have to work straight through spring break.
There’s always some thing we are holding out on before declaring adulthood. I think mine is kids. Until I have a child one day I am a child.
That’s an ingenious thought! I should reset my standard to that.
I went to Hobby Lobby. I’m sure you’re very jealous about my adventurous spring break travels.
In the words of imerika, “Freaking bitch.”
I would go to Athens. It’s amazing. Or to Spain to test out my street Spanish
