I just graduated from college -- something that I most certainly was not ready to do, and it's been a roller coaster of emotions. Here are my thoughts I've had for the past week about graduating:
1. Is this really happening?
2. Should I have joined more organizations?
3. Should I have gone out more?
4. I should take another semester.
5. No, I've been in college long enough.
6. Wow, my life is going to suck without my friends.
7. This feels like graduating high school all over again, except worse, because I've physically lived with these people for the past four, five or six years.
8. I hope the school changes their mind and tells me that I still have a whole semester (or two) of classes to take.
9. I don't want graduate.
10. I'm not ready.
11. This isn't me.
12. I'm not mature enough.
13. I'm not emotionally ready for this step.
14. Have I learned enough in my major to succeed?
15. What if everyone is better than me?
16. What if I fail?
17. What if I don't make any friends?
18. What if I can't find a job?
19. Aren't we in some kind of recession?
20. Or is that over?
21. How long can I stay on my parents insurance?
22. If I went to grad school I could prolong my student loans.
23. Everyone's going to forget about me.
24. Is it acceptable to come back and visit my friends every weekend?
25. No, I can't be that alum.
26. Just kidding, I can.
27. This sucks.
