More than ever, I'm feeling a divide between my friends from college. Now that it's been a whole four years since I've graduated, I can reflect on how much has changed. We were all scrambling to finish our degrees and/or find a job, enchanted by the idea of making some money! In year three, things really started to change. Around 25, it seems like couples that were not ready to commit broke up and everyone else started to get engaged. Single and newly single friends who want to be in a relationship socialize the most. It's actually quite exhausting learning about all of the social media dating sites, but would be happy to know that there's a platform to meet people easier. The friends who much rather focus on careers also seemed more committed to their lifestyle choice.
Where do I feel like I fall? With the wedding, a couple family trips, and other big events coming up, I want to save where I can. This means that I don't care for spending $40 a night on going out when we're not actually celebrating something. The house has become such an investment - both expense-wise and responsibility in keeping up with everything. When I can be a homebody, I will. Yet somehow I keep feeling guilty for not getting out there more. I read an article recently that said, do the things that you think you'll wish you had five or ten years later. I doubt I'd regret not going out this one weekend, but I would be ecstatic to have things I can show for it.
Now that graduate school is winding down, I've found more time to catch up on shows and even pick up on learning Spanish.
