The Game of Life: College Edition – Moving on (literally)

In less than a week, my best friends and I will be moving into a new house in the outskirts of Pensacola. We are beyond excited and have been wanting to live together for a year, so for it to finally be here is surreal. As we are setting up our utilities and even talking about which trash system we’re going to buy (fancy, right?) we are finding the joy in being able to do this with one another. Our excitement is also followed by some stress, mainly on my end since I will be moving from a furnished apartment to an unfurnished house, so I do not have as much to start with as my friends do. I also live on the third floor with no elevator, so walking down my huge bean bag is going to be interesting. Regardless, I am working on getting through the stress and turning that energy into excitement for what lies ahead. On top of that, I’m not only moving houses but also moving on in my life. I am job hunting for the fall, looking at new gyms to be a part of, and overall starting my adult life outside of college. That is a little scary to be an up and coming ‘big girl,’ but I’m both nervous and hopeful. I will be actively working through this time to channel my stress energy into something more positive regarding my move, in both housing and life. I hope you all are doing the same in times of change. Stay tuned for updates from our new home!
