As of May 16th I will be an official USC graduate with my B.A. !!
As the day nears I realize just how anxious I really am, but not to graduate, but to have to start my life. I have always wanted this day to come, I was excited to get on with my life, but now I don't know what the heck I am going to do! Now I understand the motivation for some people to continue school. Of course the degree, but also the fact, they don't have to start their life after school.
During school all I wanted to do was move back home. Now that the time is coming when I can move back home, I don't want to anymore. I'm scared I'll get stuck in the rut of SSDD (Same S@$% Different Day).
I have no idea what I am going to do for a job. I have lots of ideas for things I would like to do, like volunteer, start working on my idea for children's books, get back to playing volleyball, but none of this stuff makes money, which I need if I want to eat. I have been looking around for jobs that are relevant to my career goals, but have yet to be successful.
I have considered Law School as a possible path. I am going to take some prep LSAT classes when I finish school and take the LSAT. I want to go to Law School, but I don't know if I want to do the 3-4 years of more school.
I am going to take the time after I graduate to see if I can get anything good going, if I can't then maybe I go back to school and get my Masters or a Law degree.
I realized in my writing there are a lot of statements followed by "but", I guess you would call that "being torn". In 1 1/2 months ready or not, I am going to be thrown in the deep end. I know I won't drown, I just haven't figured out my method of staying afloat.

Ah yes, what to do once we all graduate. That is the question isn't it? Especially with all of the problems that we have with the economy right now, it definately doesn't support that warm and fuzzy feeling does it? I understand about being torn and it truly is an artform to find that one place that we will make a difference or just feel as though we are contributing in some way.
ReplyDeleteFirst about CONGRAGULATIONS. I know that the questions that every studen has after Graduation is what is next? Dont worry, I am sure that things will clear up for you and you will be able to make the right desitions. Just believe in yourself and I am sure that you will be a very successful woman. What I advise you to do is to go back to your house and just try to relax and think possitively that you will be able to get a Job. Even in the most difficult problems you have to remember that there is someone outhere with you all the time helping you. I wish you the best.
