Adventures as a Grown Up

Living like and Adult?!?

So when I made the decision to leave my job back East, travel, and eventually go to Pastry School, I knew life would be very different than it had been for the last eight years. But- I guess I didn’t realize just how stressful and different it would be. Man this takes some getting used to.

I was just hired and finally have a job, however, I don’t know when I’ll get paid from it- and I don’t know what the hours will be like. Thankfully I have a roommate moving in and rent (while not that expensive to start with) will become THAT much cheaper.

Right now, the only bill my mom still pays is my Phone bill. Yes. My mom still pays my phone bill. Come on people. I have an iPhone and it’s expensive to have alone. BUT while I was traveling in Australia I decided to use my phone… after talking to AT&T I thought it would be less than 100$ if I used it sparingly. Ha- I was so wrong. The bill came and well it’s a lot higher than I thought and now I have to pay that.

So paying that, insurance, rent, utilities, school, and everything else has me in a bit of a tizzy because I’m just not making the kind of money I used to. Which is ok because I’m going after my goals- but it’s just an odd feeling to get used to; this living like an adult thing.
