I haven't felt free for so long, totally too long to remember! Since starting my job and I am already 3 months into it, everyday is lived in a rush it is like a mad, unending routine. It is not like school when you remember the lovely things, funny things that happens with your friends each week, or those swift but seemingly endless days of space...
Blank spaces of time when you can actually plan where to watch a movie, lie on your bed and nap throughout the afternoon, moments when you feel like you have no heavy responsibilities except that dread to finish your assignment/project work/study for exams. I have been through those. School is not easy, but at least it wasn't so structured. If you feel like skipping school, you can but you are responsible for your grades. But we can't skip work...... unless we are dying to be fired.
And maybe it is also because your social life is so much more happening when you are in school. You can make a new friend from the classes you are taking, meet people along the hallways and say hi, gather for lunch with your friends.. and did i mention that you can wear anything you want without that much repercussions?
I used to be the top and denim skirt girl with my favourite ballet flats and leather bag. Tuning in to my cranberry red ipod on the train catching up on my reading.. And now with all this regulated work life, report at 9 dressed in office attire (boring esp when i don't have much), days pass so quickly when you are always swarmed with something to do.
Work is more merciless than school. At least you can take breaks in school and cramp everything in the exams, but work deadlines are on a daily basis.
anywayyy i will quit complaining. And maybe think of how to use the perks of having a job - $$ to buy experiences/ stuff i never could have. I should start updating my wardrobe.
