In the Land of 9 to 5

May 15, 2019 by astoldoverbrunch in Guest Post, Life In Your 20's, life lessons

I’m an academic advisor and work with traditional and non-traditional college students for a living. The structure, income, quality benefits, and having a place to wake up and go to on a consistent basis are on a good path for #adulting. However, I’ve had those “What am I doing with my life?” moments while sitting in my cubicle, staring into a computer screen, taking calls and meetings, and assisting students with degree planning and retention.

When I graduated from college with a BA in English with a focus in creative writing, I had big dreams and major goals in mind for myself. I hoped to dive into career opportunities that would allow me to put that degree to work. I applied for different positions in my hometown and even took some faith leaps applying in areas in Los Angeles and New York City. I just believed the world of journalism, publishing, and creative writing would be ready to welcome another eager and hungry millennial fresh out of college, a full-time dream opportunity, complete with my own office staring directly into the city (or towards the beach depending on where I’d end up in this fantasy world.)

A Retelling of my Weird Harry Potter Dream

I'm one of those people who remember a lot of their dreams. I usually don't tell people about my dreams because who really cares about other people's dreams? But this one I vividly remember AND I promise you this it is hilarious. I told two crowds of people to test it, and decided it's actually funny, perhaps even blog post worthy. I hesitated for a bit because of the turn it takes, but ran it by Cazey who thought it was appropriate. Jury is still out if my Mom will think that too.

So.... moving on from my fear that you might then decide I'm a psychopath, because that was my first thought. Well, second thought upon waking up.

What I Wanted To Be Growing Up

Growing up, I never wanted to be the stereotypical firefighter, policeman, or astronaut. Instead, I dreamed of being:

English teacher. I had a doctor's kit, including a stethoscope, but instead of playing doctor, I would take the syringe and pretend it was pen and mark up invisible papers. I really wanted to teach people where to put commas, not save lives.
