Are you kidding me? I’m supposed to graduate in December after completion of a seven-month internship. I have one week left of regular classes until I’m done school work all together. There just happens to be a couple issues. First, I don’t have an internship yet. Sure I’ve had my chances, job offers and interviews, but I’ve gone through so much this semester that securing one was the last thing on my mind. So now I’m in a predicament. Most places already have their interns in place and I’m
just out of luck at this point. Without this internship, graduation just isn't going to happen.The second issue is a big one. I'm going to be one class short of that required for graduation. One literature class is going to keep me from that. Here's the thing though. Lit classes are fairly useless these days. I could honestly care less about what the professor THINKS the author means when they say the drapes on the windows were blue. The professor thinks it's a representation of the deep depression the protagonist felt in daily life. Have you ever thought that maybe the drapes were blue because the author liked the color. Really, I'd love for some of these authors to sit in a lit class and just listen to the analysis of the story the professor just pulls out of nowhere.
My lit class, however, is going to be failed because the teacher is terrible. I'm sorry, but I was always taught that when a test has four essay questions that I have to answer in an hour, content is the number one priority, and GUMS aren't at a premium simply for the reason of the short time limit. I received a 69 on that first test, and decided to go through and look at all the points I lost. Guess what, I only lost four points for content and a couple of those equated to the professor not agreeing with my view of the story. The other 27 lost points were for GUMS. It's not like I'm going to have the time to write four essays and proofread them all in only an hour.
On top of all this, I just don't know what I want to do with my life. I'e put four years into a professional golf management program because I loved the game of golf. Unfortunately, the program has made it so I don't really enjoy playing anymore. I still love the game but I cant find the same enjoyment and emotional release that I once did.
This close to graduation, I should have at least the next couple years of my life planned out. I don't though. I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow. I have no clue how I'm going to manage to graduate on time. I should probably talk to my adviser but I just know he's going to throw all the blame on me, and I agree that it is my fault. But he doesn't know everything I've gone through the past two years. I've lost friends, lost love, lost my passion for the one thing I've always been able to count on. I just don't know how I'm going to manage to graduate on time.
