What even is "post-grad"? How to be comfortable being uncomfortable & navigate adulthood | Ep. 22
So… we graduate college and then what? Some people live at home, some stay in their hometown, some move to a city without a job, and some jump straight into a career. Navigating your post-grad years is all about understanding that everyone is on a different track, and comparing yourself to others is the key to falling off of your own. Getting our first full-time job, moving into our first place, making new friends; it’s all very overwhelming. Amidst the chaos & confusion of all that adulting is, remind yourself that no one ~really~ knows, so just have fun! The good thing is that we have each other to get through it together, every Tuesday, on Fun on Weekdays Podcast. This podcast is sponsored by Macy’s.
