i (am//not) ready

...i am NOT ready...
to be a real life grown up
to part ways with my nursing school cohort (i'm pretty attached)
to give up my tendency to wander and travel
to pay for things like health insurance
to move out of the house i've called home for the past 3+ years
to do life without my roomies, who are more like sisters
to work 40+ hours/week
to leave behind the whimsy that college life affords
to settle down into a career, or really settle into anything
to leave, but i suppose i'm not ready to stay either

{via}

...i AM ready...
to have silverware in the silverware drawer
to quit jumping through hoops in the academic world
to say goodbye to nursing care plans
to bury my nose in a book of my choosing
to spend my time investing in things i really care about
not to be flat broke all the time
for a change of scenery, and of pace
to leave behind the college-kid diet
to live my life outside the bounds of a syllabus
to get more sleep on a regular basis
to go more than 2 weeks without my car being broken into
