LE WEEK-END + NEW JOB + WONDERFUL NEWS

(Le Week-End) This weekend was very eventful.
Friday, I had my second interview at (New Job) Gap for a sales associate position. Hired! I can't wait! The benefits are awesome, I think I'm  really going to get along with my coworkers, and I finally get to have a job in retail. The stars have aligned, my friends.
My mom and I went shopping to find some clothes for her to take to Florida with her this week. I stumbled upon an Anthropologie I had no idea existed! I can't believe I've never been there before! It's HUGE. Like, HUGE. I mean, I guess I've never been to an actual Anthro store before, so I had no idea how big they are. When I get my first place, I am going to save up my money so I can have beautiful things from Anthropologie and Ikea.
Sunday I had orientation at Gap along with an absurd amount of homework I'd put off all weekend. (Wonderful News) Whilst scrounging around my email to find some things I'd sent myself, I stumbled upon my acceptance letter (or email, really) to Columbia College Chicago! It was so exciting! Well, it still is exciting! I'm going to try and add in as many exclamation points as I can right now until you understand how exciting this is! I can't wait.
Being accepted to Columbia also makes me a little nervous... Moving to a big city where I basically know no one is intimidating. It means I would have to find an apartment. It means I would have to pay rent and buy my own groceries. It means I would have to take the subway or train... alone. It means I would have to walk around a big, strange city at night... alone. It means I would have to try and make friends, and as a transfer who wouldn't live in the dorms how would I do that? It's nerve-wracking. And if I am this nervous, how will my mom handle it? I just really don't know.
But I want this. I've wanted this for a long time, and I've decided to dive head - first into it. I can handle it. It's not a big deal. I'll be okay... everything will be okay, and I am still so excited to see what happens!
