So, senior year rolls around and you think that you have a while until you have to start thinking about your future, where you're going to be moving to, and what you're going to do for work. I know I for sure thought I had more time than I did. After attending my first Seminole Futures Career Fair a few weeks back, I finally realized that I am old. Though my father reminds me daily about how excited he is for me to get a job, shout out to you Michael for supporting me all my twenty two years, I still am not sure what I want to do with my life.

For me, the first step to figuring out what the hell I wanted to do was to create a Linked in account. I swear my friends and I have competitions to see who has the most "connections." It's kind of funny that we now rely on this website to determine what jobs would be most suitable for us by filling out what we are typically interested in. I found a picture that I looked somewhat decent in, was taken at my junior year formal (had to crop out my date), filled out the little bio and bam; I'm ready for you recruiters! Come and find me! Unfortunately, I think on average I've gotten more creepy DM's on Linkedin than actual job offers. Still love you though Linked in.

Next, I lurk the hell out of social media. A ton of my friends are living the lavish life up in New York City. I'm just sitting here, in the good 'ole capital like damn how can I get a job that can allow me to live in that city, afford something more than Ramen noodles for breakfast lunch and dinner, and still be able to go out and have a social life. To me, and I think anyone can agree on this, finding a job where you can live comfortably is very important. Oh and also, the location must be fabulous. Friends I don't know how you do it but keep killing it in NYC. But like, how in the world can you afford it? But please keep posting stories of all the yummy food you eat and all the cool bars you go to to keep me entertained.

I'm thankful for FSU having an awesome Career Center. I would definitely recommend going to the Career Fair. The day beforeI went to the mall, bought my first pair of slacks, and printed out 20 copies of my resume on fine resume paper. Damn, I was ready to kill it at the Career Fair. I drank a hug cup of coffee before and made sure I gave out at least half of those resumes. Luckily, I did hear back from a few companies as well. But like, what do I want to do? Do I want to be a recruiter, or go into sales, or work for an advertising company?

I still have absolutely no idea. But one thing I do know is that I have three months to still figure it out. And though those months are going to seriously fly by, I know I'm going to have a lot of fun figuring it out. Some advice for figuring out what you want to do with your life? Don't sweat it, jobs can be temporary until you find the right one. Not only focus on what you're good at, but focus on what you'd like to do. And lastly, talk to people and build your connections. I can't even begin to tell you how much I've texted my sisters for advice. I mean anything can help at this point, right? Just really hope by June 2017 I will be employed.
