So all these photos are actually from my 27th birthday that was um...like a month ago. I am not the best at updating my blog on time....but I figured it is better to post on my blog since this is my digital scrap book and someday I am going to want to look back on the day I turned 27....
I am now officially in my later 20s, which honestly is great. I like being in my later 20s and I feel like this is a time I am always going to look back on. Everyone always reminisces about the "good ole days" and they usually remember them as that after the fact. For me, college was a very significant time in my life. It's when I first moved out on my own and I was discovering life for myself. It is also the time when I met a lot of my lifelong best friends. My really good girl friend and I will often send each other photos from college and be like "remember this" and "remember when we did that" and we will laugh and tear up and just talk about how great college was.
Now, living in New York City and having lived here for almost 4 years has been quite the learning and growing experience. When I graduated from college I felt on top of the world. I felt so mature and confident. Well that feeling quickly changed when I packed up and moved to New York City just days after graduating. Moving to New York City and adjusting to a new life and being a young twenty year old is like being a freshman in high school. You feel young and insecure and like all the older people pick on you. You have to prove yourself, but you feel shy and insignificant and you question EVERYTHING about yourself. But now being 27 I feel like I am higher up on the totem pole, more confident and wiser.
A lot of my friends were sad about turning 27. I am not really sure why....we are still young with so much life ahead of us. We are working hard and achieving goals but still having fun and enjoying life. I personally like being a little bit older and being taken more seriously. I feel like this is such a unique time!! And of course a time, that in a few years from now, I will be like "man those were the good ole days."
