This is the first summer that I haven't worked since I was 17 and it feels really strange. I always like keeping busy and since I've been back from D.C. I feel this void where I would be doing something more productive with my life. I realized though that it is okay to take a break and time for yourself is always important. After weeks of searching, I'm really excited to say that I have a summer job now! Even though it technically is the end of summer. I am going to be a part of the a grand opening of a new REI store near my house. It is retail, but there are so many beautiful growing opportunities in this company of outdoor recreation. My first training is in a few weeks so i'm excited to share it with you.
