So... I'm overwhelmed-really overwhelmed. I cant really say that the feeling of "growing up" is a new to me ... because, well I've always considered myself to be quite mature and focused for my age. But at this current moment... I wish I could go back to being 5, where the biggest worry I had was if Count Dracula was going to be making an appearance on Sesame Street that day.
I'm 25 years old with a soon to be Masters in Travel and Tourism Management from NYU- what does that mean? I'm way to ambitious for my own good! I am seeking a job that is challenging, interesting and one that will hold me accountable! That's what I WANT... but I think the world is way to focused on my AGE therefore, I want to go back to being 5.
Another issue I face being a 25 year old, misunderstood, go- getter, is that I feel like I'm settling. I HATE SETTLING- I am not a "settler." (Although my best friend may disagree with this statement when it comes to men...but that's a whole different night).
Why does the corporate world have such a fascination with age and why do they feel that generation Xer's between the ages of 24-25 cant possibly do what a 40 year old can do! PLEASE.
I'm not perfect, but I have the sass and knowledge to run circles around some of my colleagues.
I'm not eager to grow up... I'm just anxious for the day that I'll be taken seriously. However, right now- the Care Bears are looking real nice!
