Work it Girl.

I just wanted to take a minute to reflect on working. Working HARD. I spent the whole last school year working for BYU Catering. Needless to say it was certainly not a glamorous job. Some shifts starting at 3 am, scraping mold off the fridge ceiling, inconsistent hours, endless burn marks on my arms, etc. It wasn't what I had in mind as a good job when I got to BYU last year. However I am so glad that I worked there! It has really motivated me to work as hard as I can through school so that I won't have to be stuck in a low-earning job forever. In fact, because of the experience I gained at BYU Catering I now have a much better job (better pay, better hours, and better environment). I will miss the friendships I cultivated at Catering, however I'm so glad to be working somewhere that I actually enjoy. Basically the lesson I enjoyed is: stick it out. It may not be a glamorous or enjoyable job, but if you work hard and keep trying you can progress until you find a job that you actually enjoy. Of course, Cole and I's jobs are not our careers--it's just something to help us through school. But until I'm an accountant/financial advisor and he's an optometrist it'll do just fine. Like I've said, college isn't glamorous. But I am kind of grateful that it isn't. It'll make Cole and I truly grateful for our beginning once we settle down in Oregon after college and Optometry school. Until then, I'm a working girl and I absolutely love it!
