My first pair - a literal dream come true!

I fully believe I manifested these into being. My state does not have an official store but only one Nordstrom carries them according to the internet. I was at that mall yesterday for a quick gown for a gala tonight.

I figured I’d try some on to know my size, so I can purchase them used for my graduation walk soon.
The sales associate try to tell me they don’t sell them… I’m tall and attractive and he seemed quite nice, so I wondered if it was some weird store policy as I understand it’s most likely to most expensive shoe they carry. I kindly challenged him and he explained they only get a handful of random styles and sizes. I let him know the sizes I’d like to try and sure enough he brought me two.

One was a silver mule, but the other? The literal dream shoe. The ones I’ve been researching for months, drooling. The ones I dreamt of in February. Not only that, but they fit me perfectly. Many sales associates gathered and oo’d and aw’d. The slingback is what I need due to narrow heels, and the pointy toe is becoming more and more rare these days.

I’m in love. I couldn’t stop giggling and even had him keep the lid off so I could stare at them whilst I paid. Nothing has ever made me feel this way before! I realize now I wasn’t broken, it just takes a lot for me to truly be excited! My sales associate called me Cinderella and I floated home.

I feel I am at the precipice of a new life, and these shoes will carry me through. These shoes represent SO much to me! Absolutely over the moon.

I received my confetti yesterday for my BS in Communications, making it only 24 hours between submitting my application for graduation and having it be official.

Immediately I’d to jump into my MBA. My friends, who have finished grad school themselves and some even internationally, are begging me to humor them and look at other places first.

The more I look into an MBA and the more I get to know the world, where you graduate from with your MBA can seem to truly make a difference.

The long term goal is to create my own business and investment portfolio. Short term, I’m looking to utilize the MBA to secure a higher paying job either in my current field of Real Estate or something aligned with my bachelors.

So, those of you who obtained their MBA from WGU, did it substantially help you secure a higher paying job? Do you wish you had done it elsewhere, even if just for life experience?

I don’t enjoy being a traditional student, so dragging it out just sounds dreadful. Still, I’ve felt stuck in my life and maybe I need to stir the pot a bit.
