Guys. We have a year and a half left. We’ve made it this far. Well, we’ve made it this far BUT still have no clue what the hell to do with our lives. Which is not terrible but it’s not the best thing ever either. At least, for those of you reading, you are not alone. There are tons of us out there still trying to get our life together. We will slowly, but surely get there- eventually. As for now, we kind of have to grin and bear it.

I do not think it is an absolute must to know exactly where you want to go after graduation, or exactly what you want to do with your life. However, it would bring some peace to our lives that are hectic enough as it is. I am for sure not saying to live on your parents’ couch or basement for the rest of your life but if its necessary for the first month, then do it man. If it’s really the only option you have that is going to help you out, and help you in the slightest to stand on your own two feet, do it.

Honestly, I think we put way too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect and have it all together: but we don’t have it all together. And that’s okay. It’s more than okay. No one ever actually does, and if you do, then teach us your ways. Please.

At this point in our short yet seemingly long lives, we strive for the unattainable: perfection.

We idolize the photos we see on Twitter and Instagram of those people who are fresh out of college and just bought their first house or their first car. We want their life but what we don’t want is all the struggle and sacrifice that came before that house was bought. We want to skip the part where we struggle for months or even years saving up money for the payment that went towards that brand new car. We want to skip all of that and go straight to the good part, but what a lot of us fail to realize is that we have to endure all the bad shit that gets thrown at us to enjoy the good. Not only to enjoy it, but appreciate it.

At this point in our life, its okay to not have it all together. Its normal and pretty much expected. But its also something that we should probably start figuring out. Maybe we should write an outline of how we want our life to go, as if we were in English class trying to map out a huge essay. Except, unfortunately this isn't English class, and were not writing an essay. I suppose my point is to at the very least have an idea of how, or what you wish to do with your life. I mean, we still have a while to think about it, but after this school year is over, we're kind of screwed.

On the bright side, there are probably tons of us out there still trying to at the very least come up a minimal clue as to what we want to do, so you're most definitely not alone in this.
