I'm A Rising College Senior With No Plans After Graduation Yet, But I'm Not Worried

It's okay not knowing what to do because everything will work out.

I just recently finished my junior year of college. Since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to go into the medical field, but when I got to college I realized that that's not what I wanted. I changed my major to special education because that was my passion, and when I got into the classes for this major, I realized this is what I needed to be doing all along.

When I started learning about education and how to help students reach their full potential, I never felt any better. My passion came to life and my creativity blossomed. But in the long run, I decided I wanted to be a speech pathologist. I wanted to help children to be able to verbally communicate with people. If they couldn't communicate verbally then I wanted to teach them ways where their voices could be heard.

As I go along and am coming to my last semester of classes, I am more confused than ever. I don't know what I want to do. Do I want to stay in education and help these students in school or do I want to help children in another way? Do I want to spend 2-3 more years in school or go ahead and join the workforce? Do I want to settle for an okay salary or go on and try to make more money?

At the time I, am so confused.

If you are a college student who is in the same position as me, at least you know that you're not alone. I have found out that many people actually go through these same situations. I know that everything will work out and it will for you too but at the moment I don't know where I'm going to go. But I am going through this slowly and methodically because this is my future. I know great things are inshore for me and they are for you. Just relax and trust the process.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
