As my first semester of senior year comes to a close, I’m having to catch onto the whole “adult” concept, of which I am no expert. One of the fun things about graduation is everyone asking what your plan is…people you never talk to asking what your plan is.
If you’re about to entire the real world, here are some things you may have heard in the past 3 months…
1. When are you getting off your parent’s phone plan?
Yes…I have actually heard this more than once. I don’t know probably when I get a job and have money to do things other than pay for student loans and provide for my dog child and when I feel like yelling at myself for using too much data, it’s a sensitive subject!
2. Have you found a job yet?
Look at my face. Does this face look like someone who has found full security for at least 2 years? Or does it look like I’m in a full panic all the time? (no sir, no I have not found a job)
3. Where are you living after graduation?
I hope an apartment but whose to say at this point.
4. Are you going to have roommates?
Does my dog count?
5. Just take some time off to travel!
Hahahah okay.
6. Are you scared?
I don’t know, I mean…doesn’t the vast void of thousands of possibilities with no tangible direction freak you out a little bit?
7. So since you’re single, what’s the plan?
What kind of a…I am a functioning human being on my own! Not everyone is able to get married right after college – no shame to either person. You do you but making these decisions is hard enough for 1 person, I personally can’t handle 2 (props to the engaged)
8. How many jobs have you applied for?
All of them. All the jobs.
9. What do you want to do?
Survive. Eat. Possibly have some place to live.
10. No, don’t graduate! Stay here!
I’m gonna have to hard pass on that one friend. I have no idea where I’m going but I’m leaving that is for sure! Come May, I’m gone! Much love though. Seriously.
