Summer 2019 Conclusion

Summer 2019 Conclusion

Decided to post a fun picture of my sweet dog nephew Samuel because seeing him the few times I've had this summer Sam brings me absolute joy & he was definitely a highlight of my summer! I don't officially start my social media course till September 11 but everyone else is going back to school so I though now would be a appropriate time to do my summer conclusion post. Usually every summer (at least for the past 2 summers on my blog) I would have normally posted daily of my summer festivities but this summer life truly hit me in ways I never thought it would!

At the beginning of the summer, I was still at the same job I was at for the past 2 years. I always knew it wasn't going to be a forever job so I looked into other career paths & ran into a completely different career path that was completely out of my comfort zone but I wanted to take the risk & leave my job I had basically called a 2nd home to pursue apartment leasing (some social media was involved but it wasn't the type of social media I was wanting).

I was in the job for a month till I realized that I was no way in hell ready for that industry! I wanted it to work out so badly & tried so badly but it truly wasn't what I was wanting at least in this phase of my life. I'm still young & discovering myself career wise. What I want in my career at this moment is passion & I wasn't finding that passion I was wanting where I was at. I took July off to really discover myself & I attended so many interviews. I was also attending 2 concerts & really spending all of my spare time with friends so I was pretty busy.

What I truly realized after that experience was that I need to start following what I'm truly passionate in. I've been so scared for years to tell people what kind of career I actually wanna pursue. Since I was around 16-17 years old, the social media industry always fascinated me. I would look at certain Twitter accounts like the Wendy's account & wonder who was behind that. After I graduated high school, I looked into social media marketing in fashion especially on Instagram. I want to manage my favorite clothing store's social media or even do social media for a radio station. That's truly what I want but I know it's a super hard industry to get into.

I was never a big school person what so ever so I'm starting off with one 6 week online social media course to see if this is truly a passion I want to go down. This summer was a rollercoaster of emotions. This summer I was happy, sad, overwhelmed, lost, lived some of my greatest concert dreams (especially the Shawn Mendes concert), dealt with loss, dealt with heartbreak, & so much more. I'm ready for new beginnings. I'm in a retail job I'm mentally so much happier in & I work with such fun people & product! I'm excited to see what the future holds for me! Summer 2019 was a huge life lesson I needed in order to be stronger & turn into the best version of me. The best is yet to come!
