So I suck at blogging…
I told myself a year ago that I would continuously blog about the adventures of life after college and as we can see that did not happen. I haven’t posted since late August 2015 and it is now going on July 2016. Needless to say, a lot has changed since then while doing this thing called being an adult.
July 2015 I took a job with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and moved to Memphis, TN alone. I came all the way out here not knowing anyone so the first two months SUCKED! It was nice having my own stuff and being somewhere new, BUT when you just graduated college and you’re used to friends and family always being there then it is hard to adjust.
Well luckily, my boyfriend found a job here and moved to Memphis at the end of September 2015. Yay for me but also great for him. It was a great opportunity that he couldn’t pass up and better than his situation back in Charlotte, NC. That now leads me to living with your significant other…
Ladies and gentlemen, please make sure your relationship is strong and serious enough to support the challenges of moving in together. Everyone likes to believe that they can handle it since they spent many nights at each other places and that they “practically” lived together once. Well I’m here to tell you that practically living together and actually living together are two completely different things. Luckily, we are in a strong enough relationship that those challenges did not break us. There are habits of a person that you have to now really deal with. Before you could handle it because it wasn’t your place, but when it comes yalls place you have to deal with the little things that he or she does that makes you just want to scream “ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?”
Habits are not the only thing you have to address, but when you move in together then you have those “domestic duties” that have to be discussed. Everyone is different, but Sequaia doesn’t go along with the duties of a woman that society has given her because she has a vagina. So talk about these things. Women do not mind doing domestic things, but we do not want to be expected to do them. It should be expected that it will be a shared responsibility of the household.
I could on and on about the different things that young adults need to consider when moving in together. Actually not even just young adults but anyone that is considering taking their relationship to that next step. That topic is probably another blog or series lol.
But life has been good! Many topics to write about in the near future.
Until next time…
