OK, friends, who thought they would have everything figured out by the time they hit last semester of senior year? Who thought they would know what they would be doing in May? Well, I'm here to tell you I have no idea. I could be in Scottland, California, or DC. I could be unemployed, working a minimum wage job, or working at an incredible firm.
Even though senior year has been one of the highlights of college, it has also been one of the most stressful because of how many unknowns I have in my life right now. Here is the train of thought I have pretty much every day.
1. Wow, I really need to get my life together
2. I'll totally get my life together tomorrow
3. I need to catch up with my best friend from freshman year, I'll totally keep in touch with her when I graduate
4. Why is everyone getting engaged?
5. Why is everyone else getting pregnant?
