It has been hard for me to accept that patience is important. When I graduated college I thought I would have my dream job, my own place, be making lots of money, well I was wrong.

I wasn't prepared when I graduated college. I was more devasted knowing that I was leaving my home of four years and struggling to find work I could tolerate and enjoy. I thought college was supposed to prepare you, but it made me feel more lost than ever.

I thought I had a sense of direction and I did not. I always thought I wanted to work in television which is not a passion of mine anymore. I thought moving out of my home would be a breeze, then you get hit with the reality of how expensive New York and renting is. All of this stress not only saddened me but made me realize there are other important goals for me in my life.

I have new goals which I am struggling to reach. My patience has decreased and I wanted everything now, now, and now. The fact that I realized everything is a process and you need to plan and take steps to reach your goals angered me more. I thought I could always plan life, and I finally realized, I cannot.

To make this article short, sweet, and to the point, being a post-grad for almost two years sucks, but the most important thing I have learned is patience. Rome was not built in a day. It sucks when you cant have everything you want in an instant second, but maybe all of the effort and hard work will pay off and be rewarding even if it is tough and annoying.

When you learn how to radically accept things in the moment and be patient, good things can come. Maybe not everything, but many things that you are striving for. I hope to accomplish all of my dreams, desires, wishes, and goals and not let my anger and frustration get the best of me.

Patience is key.
