As I am typing this, I am only a few days away from my final year of college. These last few years have truly been an unforgettable experience that I'll look back on for years to come. Some people say that college is the best part of someone's life and I have to disagree with that. Everybody lives a different experience and college can be extremely stressful.
I always knew that college would be a learning curve and I knew that I would struggle and I was right. People who don't struggle are extremely lucky. Some people can try their very best but still not do as great as they would have hoped. And that is okay.
We as a society are made to feel like a failure if we don't meet everyone else's standards which is beyond ridiculous.
This year I plan to continue my journey learning as much as I can so I can move on to the real world.
College has its ups and downs but the ride is totally worth it if someone feels like they are prepared and able to attend. I wrote a post a while back saying that not everybody has to attend and that remains true. College is just another way for someone to go through life.
Senior Year is the time that students are expected to prepare for their final send-off out into the world. It is probably the most stressful thing a student will have to worry about. There are a lot of people who have no clue what to do with their lives post-graduation and that is daunting. Students may think there is no hope but that is absolutely not true. Yes, it is indeed harder to get a job than previous generations but we have to stick together and do what we can.
Getting a job will be difficult but we have time. We have the rest of our lives to figure things out.
