My 21st birthday is coming up in about a month, as well as my college graduation in December. With all of this changes happening in my life, I needed to take a break and simply write what my heart desired.
I'm supposed to finished college in 3 ½ years, and in the same semester I graduate, I would be turning 21. When I tell most people that I'm graduating this upcoming December, they either make a face, or they say "Aaaw that sucks!". Don't get me wrong, I understand in what context they're referring to when they say it sucks to be graduating early, they mean in the context of me BARELY turning 21 and don't get enough time to experience my real college career.
However, I understand where they're coming from, but I also know what the college life is like, it does not make it any easier for me to be happy and enjoy the simple fact that yes, I am graduating early when I'm just turning 21.
With all these changes going on, there were certain things that I needed to change to make me feel like I was ready to graduate and move on with my life.
I got a new job in a company as a content curator, which means I'm actually working on something that is related to my degree. I'm also working in the HR department at a school, which can also be related or applicable to my career. All of this things are helping me get in the mindset that I will no longer be in school and making excuses for getting regular whatever jobs.
Apart from working, I'm also studying for my GRE and looking at all the possibilities for grad school. I'm still trying to figure out if I'm going right away or taking a semester or a year or two off before going back to school.
I have talked to some professors, and there was a moment in my life where I thought I need to have everything figured out, that it was unacceptable for me to not know what I wanted with my life, but after talking to the professors, I finally understood that it's okay to not know.
That's what life is about, and I would eventually figure out how my life is going to turn out, and everything would work out, there is no point in me stressing about it like there is no point in anyone stressing about something that there is no real way successfully control it.
