Today is my last day at my first real full-time job out of college. I was there for about a year, and it really was an amazing experience.
My view this morning before I left for work. It was -8 degrees!
My coworkers are fantastic. When you work in an office with 14 women, sometimes things can get dramatic. But at the end of the day, everyone there had each other's backs and genuinely cared about each other.
Leaving won't be easy, but my new position is a major step up, one that will challenge my skills and allow me to grow professionally in so many ways. But right now, for today, I am sad about this chapter ending. Just like I was when I left college. And when I left my last internship. Despite that, I am ready to take on this new opportunity.
It's strange to me that my last day at this job also falls on my last day of being 23. This next year will be monumental in so many ways (finally getting a place with Tom, getting married), so why not kick it off with a major life change?
My sweet co-workers, well aware of my love for tea, threw me a surprise going away tea party/birthday celebration! They had me totally believing it was just another average staff meeting day.
So today I am wrapping everything up and preparing for all the birthday fun to come this weekend, and then a brand new job Monday. Wish me luck!
Cheers to birthdays, new beginnings and wonderful coworkers!
