If there is one thing I have learned, it’s that the real world is different than school. Now, I don’t mean the pain of having bills, choices, being on your own, or holding a job. Those exist, but I expected them and prepared for them. What I mean is this:

I am majoring in my Spritual Life, Work, and Hobbies.

Spiritual Life Major

Work Major
