Entering your junior year of college is a big milestone, you start to think to yourself, "where has the time gone?". Suddenly your life is flashing before your eyes and you feel like it's almost time to become an adult. Freshmen year was the new, exciting year. Sophomore year was not as new, kind of boring, also referred to as the "sophomore slump" and Junior year is so far the semester of worry. I have similar concerns every day and am constantly being asked the same questions, some of them are...
1. What am I doing with the rest of my life
It's okay that you wake up every morning questioning why you haven't transferred home yet, it's normal, you'll get through it.
2. Do I go to grad school, if so, where?
I didn't even graduate yet, how am I supposed to know what I'm doing after that!!
3. Am I going to graduate with enough credits...
Should I take summer or winter classes, how do I go about that.
4. Do I have enough on my resume?
Jobs, clubs, activities, sports, is that going to suffice?
5. Where can I get a job, internship?
There are so many jobs to choose from, where does one begin.
6. Do I even have time for fun, am I allowed to go out?
Sometimes when you've studied for so long, it's time to take a break and go on over to Dark Horse and have yourself a drink. It's good to let loose and have fun before it's to late.
7. I wish it was senior year, but I don't want to graduate!
The struggle between wanting to be done already, but not wanting to enter the big world and become an adult.
If you haven't thought about at least one of these, are you really even a junior?
