I'm in the home stretch, and there are a lot of things to worry about.

Am I ready to be done with school?

Giphy

The answer to this is usually a resounding YES. But, if you don't plan on immediately going into a graduate program life is going to be drastically different once you graduate. You'll probably miss it more than you think.

Am I supposed to be going to grad school now?

Giphy

Ask yourself if the job you really want requires a degree. If you don't need to go to school to follow your career path, DON'T waste that money!

What if I don't find a job?

Do not give up. Worst case scenario you can get a part time job to pay the bills until you find something. Remember, you're new to you're field and you'll probably have to work your way up to that dream job. Be okay with that.

When am I supposed to start looking for a job?

Giphy

Right now, tell any future employees of your anticipated graduation date, and best case scenario you'll be offered a position with the understanding that you'll have your degree within the time frame.

What happens, if I don't want to work in the field my degree is in?

Giphy

You're going to have to get creative. Think about why you think you're able to do the job you're looking at and tailor you're resume to fit it. In the interview, talk about how your unique experiences will make you a better fit than other candidates that took a more traditional route.

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing!
