Let's get down to business! (to defeat the HUNS! Did they give me daughters, when I asked for sons?...I know you know that song. From Mulan!! You totally know it.....)
Outside of school I've learned:
...how to successfully grocery shop.
Seriously, y'all know it's hard. When I first started grocery shopping on my own, I was SO overwhelmed. Like, what do I need to be buying? How much of it do I need to buy???? What does a good tomato look like as opposed to a BAD one? I really wish I could have learned the last one before I had to eat a mushy tomato to find out!!
....that tragedy will happen and it will SUCK, but you will survive.
I guess nothing can really teach you that except for going through it.
....how to get a J-O-B.
For reallllllll every school needs to have some mock interview courses. While I don't believe I'll ever be an expert at interviews, I have had to go through some PRETTY nasty ones just to get decent at interviews. There really should be a course on interview techniques. Anyone can be incredibly talented and intelligent, but bombing an interview makes it really difficult to get a job.
...that there is light in every situation.
Where there is dark, there is always light. I believe that there is something to take and learn from every situation, no matter how incredibly unfair, tragic, or stupid it is. If the bad means nothing than all it is, is bad. But if it means something than it's an opportunity..to grow, to learn, to teach.
...that focusing on the things that really matter is what REALLY matters.
Hint: it's not money or things.
...and the most important lesson I've learned outside of school:
 |
| Can't go wrong with this one. |
I feel like there are so many other things I've learned that school didn't teach me, but to be real, I'm just not feeling very wise right now.
So far, this is what I've got! I've still got some learning to do though, so don't you worry!
