I'm 25 and other unrelated thoughts

I'm officially 25. That is sort of scary, because it is the end of my early 20s and beginning of my mid-20s. There are so many things I thought I would have accomplished by now. I'm determined not to be depressed by this situation.

I'm nervous: I went on a job interview on Friday for a job I really, really, really, REALLY want. I don't think I'll get it. Damn!

In keeping with my New Year's Resolutions, I am attending an ART CLASS on Saturday! I'm really excited. The Dayton Art Institute offers various classes to its members on a rotating basis, and the little workshop being offered on Saturday morning deals with the making of dichroic glass jewelry. I'm not sure what that means, exactly, but I'm really excited to find out.

  4. Happy bithday to you
    happy birthday to you
    happy birthday, dear Lauren,
    Happy Birthday to you!!

    Hey - put sone pictures of what you learn in that art class, will you? sounds interesting!

    you know what - 25 is the best time ever. It's the perfect age. You're adult enough to do whatever you want, and you've got some sense to know what counts. You're young enough in the sense gravity hasn't shown itself to you yet.. *lol* If I could choose I'd choose to be 25 for the rest of my life.. But alas - it was some years ago. For me it was harder to turn 27. 30 was nothing compared..
    Pisces RULE!

  5. I agree with Nerdine, 25 was the best for me too. I finally felt like I was an adult, and yet I still had my life ahead of me.

    Happy Birthday.

  6. Wow, I'm nine years older than you! Damn, am I older than everyone!?

    Anyway, many Happy Returns on your birthday. I loved 25. It was the start of a new life for me. I hope that it will be the same for you.

  8. Sounds like you're up and around more - good! Happy Birthday Lauren. For what it's worth, I didn't settle into a defined life until I was about 30. I think of my 20's as the 'pioneer and explorer' phase. Of course, when I was in my 20's, it didn't feel quite so defined and was a struggle at times.

    You're young and so much is ahead of you... and anyone who wouldn't hire you doesn't deserve you :)

    Thanks for the post on Dana.

  9. You know, this post is just so funny to me because when I turned 24 this year I felt very much the same way. I panicked, thinking, wait...next year is 25 and what the hell have I done? And not only that...but..I'm getting older. I'm heading to mid 20s...it's just further proving the fact that I'm not a kid anymore, and quite frankly, I never signed up for this whole Adult thing.

    Secondly, I guess we're both waiting to hear back from jobs from important job interviews. Thing to remember is sometimes you think you suck and you did really well, and other times, just the opposite. Just remember that if you don't get it, it's for a reason. Something bigger, and better is headed your way.

    Good luck!
