The future. Nothing seems more scary.
I graduate in December. 10 months. Whaaaat?
How am I suppose to know what to do? I have a minimum wage, part time job. A lot of customer service experience, but hardly any in my field. Volunteering is something I would be honored to do, but who has time? I could work less, but I need money to put in my gas tank. Intrinsic satisfaction and work for the greater good isn't going to drive me around the city.
I've been meeting with a mentor who is a graduate student in Family Social Science. She has been amazing. We have reworked my resume so it is unrecognizable. I am also in an internship course where I have to make an efolio showcasing myself. Both of these things should really help me land a great job. I also have my mentor and TA as great resources to use as I embark on this part of my life.
The problem is, I just don't know where to go next.
They ask me what I want to do with my life, where I want to be, what I want to do...and I know, but I'm not fully convinced. I don't know if I can or if that will make me happy. The hard part is that nobody but me can make these decisions.
Grad school? Maybe. I had honestly never really considered it. I think, maybe, subconsciously I didn't think I was smart enough. However, it just might be in my future. I've looked at a couple programs that really seem like something I would enjoy.
Well, I'm still scared for what happens in 10 months, 2013- will be a new year for sure.
I know that when the time is right you will make the right decision and it will work out like it was meant to be. Just sit back and enjoy your time now while you are in college and let those things come when they do.
