Here are some random things I’ve learned in the past week:
Lesson #1: NEVER give your phone number to a realtor at an open house, especially when you aren’t seriously looking to buy in the next month or two. I made the mistake of giving my number to one who said “I promise not to bug you. I know how that feels, and I hate being harrassed.” Ok, so what do 4 emails and 3 phone calls in the past 2 days equal? HARRASSMENT! Oh well, I’ll know better for next time :)
Lesson #2: Stressing out about taking a class for your job is pointless. Chances are, they won’t fire you if you don’t do good. And chances are, it’s not going to be nearly as hard as you think it might be. Translation: I got all worked up over taking ACLS last week because I’d heard from several people that you need to study a ton for it and it’s really hard. And it wasn’t super easy. But it went fine anyway! Always does :)
Lesson #3: “Working life” is just as busy as “college life” is. For some reason, I thought we would have all this free time on our hands to enjoy now that we don’t have class, tests, and homework to worry about. Well, I’m not sure where all the time is going, but it’s going somewhere! I guess life never slows down…you just have to take advantage of the time you have right now.
Lesson #4: Publix is awesome. Unlike at Wal-Mart or Target, you never have to wait in line more than a minute or so. Last week at Wal-Mart, I waited 20 minutes to check out….literally. Publix is clean, the associates are helpful and nice, and they have an awesome coupon policy that lets me save money! Every time I go to Wal-Mart or Target, it makes me love Publix even more!
Lesson #5: Perspective. It’s all about the way you look at things. If you automatically view everything and everyone in a negative light, it can really bring you down. But, if you look for the good in people, chances are you’ll have a better day.

Hope you all are having a GREAT day!
