The After-Life list

So now that I am clearly not in college anymore, and I clearly don't feel like being in one anymore (not yet at least), there are few things I would like to talk about the after life.
It's been way too long since I made a list, and this is my list for the after life, or some things that I realized (I sorta knew them on paper before) after finishing almost a month at work



  • Weekends are sacred. Friday nights and Saturdays are the only two days where you can truly just do anything without wondering about tomorrow so much. You cherish them even more because you get to see your friends rarely, and those are the only two days you really get to see them
  • Alarms are your best friend. You can never mess up with them, and I mean NEVER. The more alarms you have, the better it is for your time management skills to improve
  • Watching your mouth becomes pivotal. No matter how chill your workplace is, you gotta cut those curse words out, you never know who gets offended and that habit eventually creeps in your personal life (not drastically, but somewhat)
  • You make more dentist appointments and now you can afford to more than ever. Work benefits package are the best thing to happen to people in USA. Dentist visits are almost a part of your calendar and accepted very nicely at the work place
  • You have new drinking friends. Happy hours exist for a reason and the reason is for all those people who work together and bond outside of the office with the help of alcohol, because nothing brings your guard down like some good ol' alcohol
  • Suddenly you can't be in bed till noon on a weekend. Early to rise is your new mantra, even if early to bed doesn't work that well
  • You can actually afford to spend $100 bucks on an expensive dinner every once in a while without planning it out way in advance. (This may have some limitations)
  • Most of all you realize you are getting old, when people around you talk about getting married and having kids all the time.. sigh
And this is me talking in less than a month. May be after few more, I'll right a whole long essay on why people hate being single when they start working, I hear that one all the time.

So yeah, I have a life now, not much to complain about yet. I am content. That's a lot to have I guess.

beta i am telling you, most of it depends on the kind of job you have
if you don't enjoy work, then you'll miss college like crazy
