While the extended Thanksgiving weekend was nice, I spent a lot of Friday and basically all of Saturday doing adult things I've never done before.
When you turn 18, they tell you "Hey, you can vote. You can buy tobacco. You're an adult."
But they don't tell you other important things, like how to create and manage a 401k that's part Roth IRA and part whatever the other option is; or how to find a primary care physician to list on your insurance application when you actually haven't seen a normal doctor (Minute Clinic NP's don't count) in at least two years.
So, after a lot of moaning and cringing, I filled out my insurance and 401k paperwork on Friday with ample help from my mother God bless her soul, then stuffed my face with pie and went to see Spotlight with my best friend Hannah.
I should have known seeing a movie about a group of badass depth reporting journalists would make me second guess my current career choice.
ugh i want to get back into journalism
But really. I'm quite happy in my career, and I'm really going to need that paycheck to keep on coming because my weekend was crowned with apartment shopping! I spent all day Saturday looking at apartments with my cousin. It was pretty exhausting, but also very fun to see the variety of apartments out there.
We looked at a very modern one that grabbed both of our hearts, but without secure parking or two bathrooms, it wasn't a logical choice. After touring all of them, we went to Lux, grabbed some hot drinks, hashed out the pros and cons of each complex and finally settled on a two bed, two bath apartment that we'll begin to call home in January!
To finish it all off, I've created a list called "Adulthood: Things I'm Saving For"
- A capsleeve tattoo
- A cafe racer (or new car)
- A trip to Iceland (actually happening next November)
- A condominium, because Lord knows I never want to pay application/hold/deposit fees on another apartment, like, ever again.
