My day in Philadelphia began at 7am as I attempted to wake up. two snooze buttons later im up and out of my apartment in 30 minutes and head to work.

I work in college athletics and right now is the peak busy season with championships happening every weekend. I’m headed to Manhattan tomorrow for a championship that’s this weekend. Working in sports is grind and lately im questioning if I got that grind in me- im not so sure

My office is in NJ so I have a decently far drive. I don’t mind it that much bc it gives me time to be alone and be still with myself
My music’s bumping
My thoughts are swirling
My mind wonders to the person my heart is currently broken over
I think a broken heart is the worst pain a human can feel and the worst part is the only cure for it is time
I let myself feel what im feeling and crank M.I.A and get myself to work

9am I arrive and get to my office.
Grind don’t stop
I Get my details for tomorrow’s trip
I write some releases, make a graphic and go for a nice walk with my coworkers
Found myself browsing for other jobs today and thinking about what could be next for me. That’s the most exciting and terrifying thing I’m realizing about getting older-You can really do whatever you want- the world is my oyster. But what do I want ? Where do I want to be ? It’s all too much  and I close the tabs and stop thinking about it.

My days ends at 5pm and Im excited to get home because all my girlfriends are coming over for a movie night.
I’m so in love with my friends. Im so lucky I have a good group of nice, smart, funny and beautiful people I can be my true authentic self with.
We made a girl dinner, poured some wine and watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Meg’s never seen it before so we insisted we watch.

I love being a girl and experiencing female friendships because I don’t think there’s anything better in this world than that

The girls leave by 930pm and im in bed watching Netflix and laying

This whole 9-5 thing is so lame. I need to be asleep by 1030 or its bad news for the next day.

I get in bed and start to think. My mind wanders and I think about how lately ive been pretty down. My family calls it having the “Italian Funk” which is a denying way of saying a little depressed. It always makes me chuckle like no-you’re just depressed.
But Today was good day. I am eager for summer to get here. Philly summers bring an energy shift to the city and I can already feel it. I think the sunshine will sink in soon and all will be better.

Just a girl trying her best to take it day by day
