Keeping It Together As A Senior, As Told By A Senior Who's Not Keeping It Together

Well, it is almost time for graduation. T-minus four months until graduation and all the doubts and worries start to fill your head. Is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life. I have to find a job I'll love otherwise I'll hate my life. Where am I supposed to live? What if I don't make friends at work? What's going to happen if I can't find anything? I don't want to move back home. I don't know what my future holds. I have no idea what I want to do.

If that sounds like you, know you are not alone. As your last semester begins and everyone starts asking you what you're going to do, it's normal to feel all the feelings of uncertainty and worry. I mean most of us are in our early twenties, so to think signing onto a job that could be where we retire is extremely intimidating and unappealing, in my personal opinion. I don't like the idea of going to the same workplace for 30 years waiting for each day to be over. I don't want to live my life working for the weekend. I want to love what I do and look forward to doing it every single day.

While four months seem like a short time, a lot could happen that you don't see coming. It only takes one day to change everything. One day you had no jobs lined up, the next you could have your dream company offering you a position. Who knows what the future holds? Worry and stress don't change what God has already planned for your life, so why waste your energy in what could be or what might be. Put your energy towards the excitement and preparation of what's to come. Four months is the perfect amount of time to tie up any loose ends as a college students and start to plan for the next phase of life. Don't be intimidated by change, embrace it!

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
