One of my roommates just got accepted to NYU graduate school today. Two of my other roommates are in longer programs at Quinnipiac and will continue their education here for the next two years. I'm surrounded by people who will still be considered students once we graduate. It's weird to think that they have plans for the future, yet all I know is that after May 17th, I'm moving back in with my parents...in Rhode Island. Yippee.
A lot of my friends have their future (at least for the next 2 years) planned out, but I have to graduate in three months and have no idea what I am going to do. I know everyone goes through this at some point in their life, but it's one of those things that always makes you feel like you're the only one going through it. Don't get me wrong, I know what I eventually want to do, or I think I do anyway, but where do I begin? And what if I just spent all of this money going to school, get my first job, and absolutely hate it? I just wish I had a Magic 8 ball to tell me what my future will be. Or at least to tell me where to start!

Do you know what you want to do? Specifically?
ReplyDeleteMight be an interesting topic for a future assignment ... see if graduating students know what they want to do.
Also, don't stress. I waited tables in a college town for six months and then took a job in journalism that paid me 3/4 as much as I made serving food. (And much less time to have a social life) It'll all work out .... zen.
