Yes, I want to work.

To The College Senior Ready For The Real World

Senior year of college is definitely a weird time in life. It's that time where you are sitting in your classes realizing you will be done with your undergraduate degree in less than 6 months. You did it!

Fear. Doubt. Excitement. Struggles. Successes. Changes. Accomplishments.

Throughout these four years, the emotions and experiences students go through are a once in a lifetime experience. If you have the means and drive to get your undergraduate degree at a university or college, you should do it. College is a time not only to further your education but to learn a ton about yourself and what you truly want for your life.

Think about it. When you enter college, you are 18 and probably leaving home for the first time. You have probably only seen a tiny bit of the world, and this is the beginning of a huge experience. You are placed with many individuals who come from completely different backgrounds.

Like anything in life, it has its pluses and minuses. But, the experience you gain is once in a lifetime.

When you have a bad day. When you don't want to get out of bed. When you land an internship. When you are honored at a university event. When you attend the football game for the last time. All of these things, each and every day, come and go within the blink of an eye.

But...one day you'll be ready.

One day it will just click.

You'll be perfecting your resume. Meeting with career advisors. Thinking hard about what you truly want. Applying to different positions. Pricing out apartments. You'll be invested in yourself. You'll think of your true dreams.

Everything is possible at this point.

But hey, college senior, do not consume your time only on these things. Try to enjoy. Try to live those last few young adult moments. Hangout with whoever you want. Stay up late at night. Live your last college moments - it does not last forever.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
