My good friend Stephanie and I get together every Sunday for our "Steph and Britt Day".
We sit around and drink wine, eat good food and watch chick flicks.
Yesterday, we were sitting around watching "Romie and Michelle's High School Reunion" and reminicing about our High School days as we flipped through her old yearbooks.
One thought went through my head as we sat there: "Wow, I never would have thought this is where i'd be 5 years after graduating. Isn't it funny where life takes you?"
In highschool we all try to morph ourselves into what is "popular" or "cool"
I'm finally (thank goodness) at the stage in my life where I'm happy just being myself, and if I know someone doesn't like who I am and what I stand for, well then I don't really need them as a friend.
I used to see all the popular girls walk around with their blonde hair and cheer outfits, and I wanted to model myself after them. Would I need a nose job? Boob job? I can save up for that!
Thank God I grew out of that one!
From all the things that have happened to me over the last 5 years, I have become such a better person than I ever thought I could be.
I assumed I would still be managing tanning salons and going out to the clubs, own a brand new car, live in some sweet condo in Kirkland, date some gorgeous guy and get married by 25...... wow was I wrong. But lately I've realized that's not a bad thing at all! Instead here I am working for this great company, with brilliant people, and doing all these things I never thought I would. I'm happy with where I am.
Where did you think you'd be 5 years after graduation? Are happy with where you really ended up? What would you have done differently?
