If you had asked me during senior year of high school where I wanted to attend college, you could not have paid me to even say where I was applying. I dreaded graduating. I was petrified. I was too caught up in a relationship to think about the future and what the Lord wanted for me. Thankfully, He sent me on my way to South Carolina and let me tell you...I oblivious of what was to come.
Clemson University has been such a blessing in disguise. Yes, it was an interesting start. Two weeks into college I was a Delta Zeta (Pi Epsilon chapter), attempting to forget my feelings for a boy, and mingling with my freshman hall to find my potential friends. Frat parties were attended and I learned jungle juice was not just punch. However, the Lord pulled me through it and placed some amazing, wise Christian girls to mentor me and challenge my relationship with Jesus. Long story short, although I accepted Jesus in my heart in high school- it was in Clemson where I truly learned what that meant.
Fast forward a few years and that puts you to where I am now. I graduated from the most loving, fun, spirit-led, crazy, sports-oriented, bleeding orange college you can think of--- Clemson University. It is where I learned how to grow with Jesus and pursue Him with all my heart. It is where I discovered my heart for middle schoolers and wanting them to know Jesus. And it was also where I received a stellar education in Marketing (and a teaspoon of Psychology). College has been the best experience I could have ever dreamed of and now I have to put on my big girl pants and take on the real world. So I guess you could say...I'm a big kid now. (Yes, you thought it. I stole my header from Huggies. But, I will not apologize for wonderful marketing that just happens to apply to my lovely blog!).
Anyways, as hard as it was to swallow, the Lord told me to leave this community of believers in South Carolina and return home to the Washington, DC area. In a little over two weeks I begin my first career as a administrative/marketing assistant at Cushman and Wakefield. (With that said, please pray for me! For finding an amazing Christian community, loving my job and co-workers, and doing everything with Jesus's name and heart.)
In the coming months I plan write and share my adventures in the corporate world. Ranging from awkward encounters to lessons the Lord is teaching me, I can not exactly pin point where this blog will take me. I can not promise quality writing or comic relief every time I post, but I can promise speaking the truth and sharing my life. Enjoy!
