After years of continuous homework, weekly tests, semester exams, projects, extra curricular activities, and being a broke college student, it is all finally coming to an end. I have asked for advice from family, friends, co-workers, and especially my teachers on life advice and basically how to start a life outside of school.
I had many responses that you're told basically your whole life... "Save your money," "Believe in yourself," they would give me tips on resumes and job applications, and financial information, and it was all fantastic information and all... But nothing I haven't heard before in the past 20 some years.
That was until one professor started out her advice to me with four little words, "You are the future," and instantly I had butterflies in my stomach. How crazy of a thought is that to think about? Here we all our with hundreds of different hopes, dreams, and degrees and we all are going to play a roll in the future one way or another. To even think about something so inspiring and life changing is extremely mind-boggling, and yet the most exciting thing ever.
So for all you soon to be college grads, I want to share this advice with you and be excited about what you have to offer to this world, whatever your career may be. You are the future... We are the future. From one nervous student to another, WE GOT THIS!
