senior year jitters

Jump to Comments

i was so excited for senior year of high school to start (and be done really quickly) but i am really not looking forward to starting my senior year in college. not that its going to be bad or anything just it means after this year (and it’ll go by fast i am sure), it’s over. my 16 or so years of education is done for and the question on everybody’s mind is “now what?”

the world is our oyster or so they say, but it’s a pretty darn big oyster– an inconceivably large and overwhelming oyster. i can literally do anything once i graduate (i mean, there are limits, but you catch my drift). and the options, the vast array of options, which can be most simply divided into doing something with my degree or doing something that has nothing to do with my degree, is terrifying, especially since i have no real idea what path i’d like to take.

sure, i am excited with all the potential my post-grad life will have to offer, but i am not in any rush for it to come. hopefully, with all of my design classes and my internship this year, i’ll create some sort of plan (or at least have an idea of a plan) for the days after i’m handed that diploma. at least that’s what i am hoping will happen. for now i am just going to try to suck every bit of summer out of these last few weeks– since it’s the last “real” one i am ever going to have– and try not to worry too much about where i will be in a year. maybe an epiphany will come while i’m relaxing on my parents’ back porch!
