Through a lot of self-evaulation these past few months, I’ve decided a lot of things (like hookin’ up) post college are not too diverse from life as a monkey college student. Basically, I’m still a hot mess that is trying to figure out who I am and what I’m meant to do on this planet (blah, blah, blah).
But through recent experience as a graduate, I’ve found one thing that is completely different from the college world. And when I say different, I’m talking black and white. Hairy and waxed. Sour and sweet. Glass of wine and shots of jag chased with Juicy Juice in your dorm.
Read: Completely different.
That’s why I wanted to take small snippets out of a day in college and a day in the real world and look at them side by side. Because, well, who doesn’t love comparing a day in the real world, with a day in the zoo? Did I say zoo? I meant college. (Side Note: I’m not judging anyone here! Actually, I’m slightly jealous).
7:15 a.m.
College Brittany: Did I just open my eyes on accident?!? Cue the absolute horror. Hmm, who took me home last night? I’ll worry about that later. Snuggle back into my bed and get back to that dream I was having about swinging on a swingset with Bradley Cooper while he fed me cinnamon sticks and whipped cream…
Post-Grad Brittany: ALARM. IS. GOING OFF. The day has sucker punched my life harder than Vanessa Hudgens (do you get it? Suckerpunch? Movie? Ok, bad joke). OK, must get up. Today is a miracle. Today is a miracle. Today is a miracle. Tell yourself that, Britt. Now get up.

The college me would be up and out the door at 7:15, because I didn’t live in the dorms like everyone else. I actually enjoy post-grad life more because my commute is only 5-10 minutes to work instead of a dreadful hour to school. That and I’m not poor anymore.

Oh, how I feel your pain. The transition from college to working girl life has pretty much kicked me around. Oh how I miss college life.

Cute guy you always see in the library? When did you have time to hit the library with such a busy schedule?

7:15…I’m normally brushing my teeth and waking myself up completely since the shower didn’t do the job. Many of my classes are 8 am classes only. I guess I won’t have to worry about waking up too much earlier after college though (unless the school I work at starts at 7:30 or earlier…that would be horrendous).
