Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was like... if you'd get a bike for your birthday or if you'd get to eat cookies for breakfast. Being an adult: TOTALLY overrated. I mean seriously, don't be fooled by the hot shoes... and no parents anywhere telling you what to do. Being an adult is responsibility. Responsibility really does suck. Really, REALLY sucks. Adults have to be places and do things and earn a living and pay the rent. And if you're training to be a surgeon, holding a human heart in your hands... Hello! Talk about responsibility! Kinda makes bikes and cookies look really really good, doesn't it? The scariest part about responsibility... When you screw up and let it slip right through your fingers. Responsibility. It really does suck. Unfortunately once you get past the age of braces and training bras, responsibility doesn't go away. It can't be avoided. Either someone makes us face it or we suffer the consequences. And still, adulthood has its perks. I mean the shoes, , the no parents anywhere telling you what to do... That's pretty dang good.
Today was my first day at the new job!
Which of course means lots and lots of orientation and information
401Ks ROTH accounts, benefits, PTO, Flex-time, Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance (this one just sounds morbid right!!!???)......OH BROTHER!!!!!
When did I suddenly become someone who has to worry about such things?
When I took my family finance class in my undergrad, needing to understand/know about/make decisions about seemed so far away.
And now it is here.
Ugggh. How do I make it stop (but still keep the adult benefits....like cookies for breakfast and higher salaries)?????
I thought only Meredith was allowed to say that?? :-) Haha... but I totally know what you mean! You can do it though! It's not always so boring and "adulty"... there are lots of perks too! You'll figure it out. (Wow- that makes me sound like a real grown up adult- I promise I'm really not!!)
