The Next Chapter After College

Most people work their whole lives to graduate college to pursue all sorts of different dreams. So what happens when you graduate? My mom and dad used to say that each part of your life is like a chapter in the book of your life. I never used to know what that meant until I graduated from high school and got to college. Each year at college had a new chapter of my life added on to the years of chapters before it. Now as graduation approaches in just three more days a chapter is about to end a new one approaches; Life after college.

For most people go to pursue their dream careers. Others go to Masters Programs or even Doctoral programs. No one truly knows what life has in store and what tomorrow will bring but what seems to be a common thread is that life is too short to not embrace everything life has to offer.

Life after college and getting a degree can bring on a new found sense of responsibilities and freedoms that one did not have while in college or in school in general. Some goals and dreams are shattered as the reality of their jobs and careers are not what they expected. But in that sadness comes a new sense of adventure into what can go on. Maybe you go back to school and find a new interest. maybe you apply for a new job or even travel to a new place with new people.

whatever happens life after college can bring a wave of emotions and new dreams and goals after your completion of college can be whatever you want them to be. For me I plan to live in the unknown and see where the journey of life takes me. All opportunities lay and wait to be discovered so go and grab them as fast as you can.

Goodluck to you all!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
