My first blog post
is going to be one to introduce myself.
Hello, my name is
Randi Renee Long. I am from the very small town of Thomson, Illinois. I lived
there my whole life until I graduated high school and moved one town over to
Fulton, Illinois. While living in Fulton I attended college in Clinton, Iowa
and Ashford University. I graduated May 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in
Psychology and I studied Human Resource Management as my minor.
Leading up to
graduating college I knew that I didn’t want to stay in the small town I was
living in and decided that I needed to get out. I decided that Nashville, Tennessee
is where I want to spend the rest of my life living. Something about the city
called my name and I couldn’t seem to get it to shut up. My family has doubts
in me, but what is the point of living if you don’t take chances?
I got an invite
from my sister-in-law to come move with her, my brother, and my niece in
Georgia. Initial thought was that it is not Nashville, but it is only 4 hours
away from Nashville. On August 5th, 2014 I moved to Georgia and left
everything behind.
I miss my friends,
I miss my close relationship with my dad and mom, and I miss feeling like I knew where
my life was going. Ever since I got to Georgia I have been unemployed and have
been having trouble finding a job. My brother is irritated by my lack of money
coming in since he said he won’t charge me rent until I get a job (I feel bad).
My mom is trying to force me to come home and making me feel like I’m a
failure. My dad doesn’t want me to come home because he knows I wasn’t happy
and my dreams don’t belong in Illinois.
I have to try to
stay positive which is hard because I have so much negativity going on in my
life right now. My mom and I aren’t speaking, I feel my brother wants to kick
me out, and I don’t have any friends here in Georgia. I spend my days up in my
room here job searching and watching movies.
Good news came
when I came back from Illinois for thanksgiving. I had a phone interview for a
temporary human resource assistant job. That went well because I have an in
person interview on 12/9, Tuesday. Wish me luck. I am so nervous I might fail
at this job, but nervous also that I won’t get hired. I want to succeed and
know that I am capable of it, but it is hard to not worry.
Wish me luck and I
hope that taking this chance to move to Georgia pays off.
