I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently due to the fact that I’m starting my last semester of senior year of undergrad. All during the holidays, people kept asking me what I was doing after and where I was moving, etc.

I honestly don’t know where I’ll be in 4-5 months from now. I don’t know if I’ll graduate with a job lined up already. Should I be freaking out? Probably. Am I? No.

I tend to embrace the unknowns rather than focusing on them. No, I don’t know where I’m going after graduation. I've been doing the right things, though. I apply for jobs every week. I keep my LinkedIn up to date. I’m looking up jobs and companies to potentially work for. I’m preparing for career fairs. I have no reason to be worried. I’d be worried if I weren’t doing these things.

Rather than stressing about what I don’t know, I’m trying to focus on what needs to be done in order to make these unknowns disappear. It’s OK that I don’t have a job because I still don’t even have a degree. I still have a few months before I graduate in order to get a job. I may not know until the week before graduation. I may not know until a month after graduation. And to me, that’s OK.

For my fellow soon-to-be graduates: we got this. Don't stress. Not knowing is the hardest part. Keep focusing on building resumes, hunting for jobs, and making the most of our last semester. It's OK to not always know.
