W Is For Will

Its been a minute y’all.

Who are you again?

Jeez, let’s get some life stuff outta the way so there is some context for whats going on in my life. 1. CPA exam studying has been put front and center. I took my BEC exams and failed each of those but learned some valuable information about the CPA Exam. Did you know that they don’t want people to constantly fail? My study guide was not helping me learn that lesson. All my study guide was doing was teaching me how much of an idiot I am, and now I’ve learned that while still difficult the exam is not impossible. 2. New year has been off to a quiet start. I have been focused on trying to consistently work out because pasta is worth it. I have been waking up around 5ish AM on the daily. I use this time for studying but now that I am in the limbo space of waiting for my exam to be scored and released I have some free time to work on pet projects. Oh, I did get a new job too.

Uh huh… so, what about the last half of 2022?

Fair point, I got lazy. I was trying to study for those BEC exams after work which was not a good strategy. Anytime I had free after studying the last thing I wanted to do was write or create posts. I feel like I am in a strange part of my life. I kinda feel like the last 5 years not much has really changed. I am no closer to my CPA, I never got the consistency or discipline to post here or on the insta, I never thought about a graduate degree.

Jeez, talk about a buzzkill you’re lucky I am reading down this far.

Alright buddy, the least you could do is hear my anecdote that I received from a Community Episode. It was the season 5 finale, where they find a solution to saving the college by discovering the secret computer lab with the treasure trove of gold-plated computer parts and the crazy professor that made love to a computer and drove himself mad…… you know, it may seem like that was a wild description but it is 100% accurate. However, one of the leads said a quote that stuck with me:

“They’re part of the ‘adulthood starts at 30’ generation”.

Okay… and???

That quote hit me because it is absolutely true. Sure there are peers of mine that are about to be on their second kid, but I feel far away from even thinking about that. Wifey and I are planning trips, concerts, restaurants, traveling with friends, creating a home that we both want to live in. What even is adulthood? All I’ve learned in my 30 years is that no one really has a grasp on what’s going on. And if someone does odds are they have more anxiety and stress than the next guy and at that point is it worth it? If there is one thing that Millenials are succeeding at its breaking from Tradition, which is, just peer pressure from dead people.

Anyway, I guess this is just a longwinded post to tell internet strangers that I am having an existential crisis on who I am, what I am supposed to be doing, and where the hell am I going? What else is new, I am not special, everyone is going thru this… right?…

Right?

Cheers
