Okay, so it is my senior year of college and I am finally in my last semester here at Clemson University!! Most people would say that's awesome, you should have an easy semester, right? Wrong. What they fail to mention is all the STRESS you are under within the last four months of your career. I have been trying to juggle taking my last 18hrs of courses and maintaining a social life all while applying for what I like to call "big girl" jobs.
When you go into your senior year, you assume everything is going to be super easy and you'll have no worries in the world. I had to find that out the hard way my last semester because we fail to realize things go WRONG!! Now, don't get too frantic I am still graduating, but things so far in my last semester has been hectic. With balancing the 18 credit hours of English courses that I did not know I had to take, to trying to maintain a social life and me time is hard.
You do not realize how fast time goes until you have barely little time to do anything. The most stressful part of it all is looking for professional jobs. I am confused about where to apply to, and when I am applying if my applications are actually being received.
You have zero guidance on how to do this adult thing, which is 100% stressful. I know this may sound like an easy fix to some people, but if you are a planner like myself, you would understand the amount of stress I am under right now. But, I do know to be able to keep a positive attitude I will make it through this last semester, even if that means my hair turns grey in the end. Class of 2019 is ready to take on the future!
