Ahh summer, here at last. Time to relax, find a way to darken my pasty complexion, and have crazy adventures with my closest friends because after all: summer time is for the memories.
does iowa even have beaches i’m not actually sure?????
Or at least, that’s how it used to be.
That was always my mentality for my summers. It was a time to not worry, not think, just create memories that I would reflect on nostalgically during the colder months of the year. In summer there weren’t any repercussions for any of the odd, awkward, and sometimes sketchy situations I found myself in. It was all in good fun, after all we were just kids. To be fair, a lot of my friends are fortunate enough to still have this summer to be reckless.
I however, decided to give the ‘adult’ world a try.
To clarify, I do not consider myself an adult and I don’t think I will for a long time. However, this past week has really shown me that I am older than I thought I was. I have done more adult like tasks in the past week than I have in all of 2014.
What have I done you ask? WELL LET ME ENLIGHTEN YOU:
- I went to a farmers market.
- I moved.
- Other adult like things.
- I signed a sublease.
- I set up the utilities for the house I am staying in this summer under my own name because you know water in important.
- I went grocery shopping.
- I had an interview.
- Other adult like things.
- I worked over thirty hours.
- I did laundry.
- I went to bed every night before 1 am. Ok for me this is a new kind of miracle you don’t even understand.
- Other adult like things.
- I was offered a second job and began my training for that.
- I created an agenda for my entire summer.
- I shipped a package through FedEx.
- ….
- AND OTHER ADULT LIKE THINGS.
Just reading over all of these things makes me feel really old. Will this be a summer with no surprises? No late night heart to hearts with close friends? No waking up after noon every day?
Who knows.
Maybe my summer will become a surprising one afterall.
