Got here in 2014. Graduated in 2018. Graduated from my masters program in 2021. Waited for my SO to graduate in 2022, and Im the meantime got a boring office job. Now after 20 months of looking for a real job, I am leaving. SO and I signed a lease on an apartment we never visited, and were packing up and leaving tomorrow morning.

I hung out with my last remaining friend (still in his PhD program) last night. 27 isnt old but in a town where the average person you see is 21 it sure felt like it was time to move on lol. Still, I hope I get to see my college friends occasionally. Even after graduation, we all stayed in Texas and have hung out 1-3 times a year. Im moving one state out, but Ill also be making more money so hopefully more travel!

Anyway idk. Feeling bittersweet. Definitely seems like a ton of my colleagues have already built their lives. Have houses, been married, have LinkedIns, travel the world, have kids. Im only now starting a real career <_< glad Im moving on with my life but feeling like Im five years behind where I should be.

Feels very *final* but its really not lol Ill be back here next year for my SOs siblings graduation. And every year a group I was in has a reunion, so I might come to that if I hear some friends are also dropping in. Maybe come see a football game or something.
