2015 → 2020
The last time I was on this bridge, I was 18, going to prom with my smokin’ HOT college boyfriend, getting ready to fill my lactose intolerant body with a vat of mac n cheese and then bust an absolute MOVE AND A HALF on the dance floor.
I was accepted to the University of Cincinnati for Biology-Pre-Med, working at Coldstone Creamery, driving my 2004 Nissan Pathfinder that looked like a safari car, just finished senior tag (*and still to this day never got tagged*) dude this girl’s life was AWESOME but man, little did she know the next few years was about to rock her world.
A lot has happened in the dash between 2015-2020.
I’ve worked a lot of jobs, quit a lot of jobs, if my count is right in the last 5 years I’ve had 8, some at the same time, before starting my coaching business last Fall.
I changed my major too many times to count. Pre-Med, Nursing (or pre-nursing), Education: High School Biology and Early Childhood Education, Communications, and then took a handful of classes in the creative side of things, writing, business...you name it, I either took it, thought about taking it, or enrolled it and then changed my mind before I ever went to class.
I joined a sorority. If you knew me in highschool, you knew that this is something I always wanted to do. I dreamed of having an epic girl gang like the ones you saw in Legally Blonde who would help me get into Harvard and show up to my trial, that kinda thing. Because of greek life, I got to meet so many really fun and kindhearted people, got out of my comfort zone, accepted leadership positions, ran events, threw a bid day, lived in the house...newsflash it’s not like legally blonde, but it’s still pretty cool.
I got engaged and married to the most charismatic, handsome, thoughtful and intelligent man I’ve ever met. He’s way out of my league, always has been. #SCORE Even though he’s not in the second pic here, he’s supporting me behind the scenes now more than ever.
Physically I haven’t grown a bit unless we’re counting muscle mass and mind gains...and the hair LOL
All in all? I wouldn’t be me at 23, if I wasn’t her at 18. 🤍
Same spot 5 years later.
