I love my job...

More and more I am sure that what I want to do with my life has a lot to do with what I am currently doing. At first, I wasn't sure. I thought- I need to go away from this and find myself. In the mean time, I found myself without even trying. It's funny how that works sometimes (well, most of the time). I stopped thinking about it and it happened.

Working with student leaders gets my blood pumping. It just does. I was a Resident Assistant and then a Resident Chaplain and now I work in the ResLife office. I am technically just another student worker, but because of my relationship with this institution I have been able to do a lot more. Working with RA hiring, finding ways to make things more efficient, developing ideas for the Area Coordinator.

I will admit that there was a period where I felt unchallenged and frustrated. Then one day I decided to change how I thought about what I was doing. I decided that the key to my personal satisfaction/success was to look at the projects not as just meaningless tasks to complete, but things to improve. So when I am given the task of making simple edits on a document, I completely reformat it. When I am asked to work on a project, I try to anticipate what comes next and do that too.

And I work for some pretty great people. Literally people in my top favorite human beings on the planet list. They really try to challenge me and instead of treating me like just another student worker, they trust and respect me. It's pretty great.

This might seem boring to you, but I genuinely get excited to go to work now.

Just thought I would share that with you :)
