I am new to the job market and finding my way. I work with international women's rights. It is super exciting, but also demanding.

It is completely different from studying and living in a dorm. Back then, I lived day to day. I studied, had a student job, and drank a lot of beer.

Now I have responsibilities. I also have more money in my account, which is great. But what should I spend it on? Should I buy an apartment? Should I travel the world? I think I will buy an apartment and enter the housing market.

My new life feels much more grown-up and also offers many more opportunities. On paper, it's really cool. But is this all there is for me now?

It took me a bit by surprise that it's a completely different life. It's a fun transition—but also something that people don't talk about much.
