Classic Stories and Modern Tales
Hey all! I wanted to take a minute to tell you all about a new blog. One of my best friends in the world writes it, and you should all check it out because it is exactly what I’ve envisioned this blog being (and failed at!) except funnier. It’s really great to read, especially if you’re a young adult in the world, trying to figure it all out.
I know it’s on another site, but check it out anyway!

I thought about writing a post about the awful week I’ve had. Between grown-up decisions and research and dealing with crazy parents at the summer job, I needed to vent. But a part of me doesn’t want to dwell. It’s over and done. And good things are happening.
So. Instead of venting, I present to you: Reasons I love summer (in no particular order)
What do you love about summer?
I got offered a job! A real, live, actual teaching job.
Well, kind of. A year-long, long-term. At my old high school. Which means that all of my old teachers will now be my coworkers.
Okay, so it will be a little weird. And super awkward. But I honestly don’t mind. I’m shy and doubt I’ll talk to a lot of them, or make a lot of friends that I would hang out with on weekends. I’ll ignore all of the drama I’ve heard about. I will look on the bright side. I will put my nerves aside and be a great teacher.
But I am still anxious. There are still a few other jobs in the mix. Full-time, permanent positions. They’re at great schools, but they’re far away from my friends and family. I know I should take them if I were offered, but I’m terrified. How do I establish a life so far away from everything I know? In the middle of nowhere?
I know I shouldn’t worry about it yet. It’s not like I’ve been offered anything. I’m trying not to psych myself out about any of it. But it’s time for me to make some big grown-up decisions. I don’t know if I’m ready.
