Quarter-Life Crisis

I think I am going through a quarter-life crisis. See I went to get advised the other day. I enrolled the other night. And well the bottom line is I am going to be a senior in college next year. Let me repeat, I am going to be a senior in college next year.

I have thought of a few options for career paths. I could become part of the Buried Life group from the show on MTV and try and accomplish my bucket list. Trust me, it is quite a list and that could last me a few years. I could become a blogger. Or I could become part of the wedding business world - Oh how my heart just skipped a few beats thinking about all that love and happiness.

So here I am trying to figure out what I am going to do this summer (It is April. I am down to the wire.) and well really the rest of my life. Currently I am interning with the Senate Communications Division in the Capitol in Oklahoma City. And very recently I found out that I will be going to Washington D.C. this summer to intern with Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison from Texas.

I just sort of nonchalantly threw that out there didn't I? Okay, so I could not be anymore excited about living in Washington D.C. this summer! Except for my mom, she is on cloud nine. The first thing she said was, "You know we are going to have to buy you a whole new wardrobe!" Then she added, "And you are also living my dream."

So one of my good friends, Emily and I are heading to the vibrant city of Washington D.C. to dive head first into the world of politics. Emily will be interning with a representative from Oklahoma. The pieces just sort of fell together and we will be living together in the George Washingto dorms which are very close to the capital. So this summer I, Elizabeth Knight Jones, will be having another summer of a lifetime. Wish me luck! (I think I might even be there for the 4th of July!)

But see now I have a predicament. The internship with Senator Hutchison is from May 16 - June 24. So what should I do the rest of the summer? Stay in Washington (which I would love) and find something else to do or come back home and get a job? Decisions, decisions, never my strong suit in making. I guess I will just go with whichever way the wind blows me. Hopefully it blows me somewhere exciting.

For now all I can do is wait patiently and start practicing walking around in high-heels, yikes!


And so on,
Elizabeth
