I did it! I did it! I passed all my classes and graduated college, I’m now ready to enter the real world! Woohoo!
Womp Womp, the real world is NOT as exciting as exciting as you think it will be when you’re a kid. I’m a recent college grad who is not traveling the world like beautiful instagram models because I have no money to do so! “You have your whole life to work, this is the time to travel and see the world!!” Yes, it would be amazing to take a year off and go travel and learn about different cultures! But, I also got lucky in a different way and was offered a post-graduate internship, that turned into a full time position, and I was excited to start.
Senior year was such a wonderful time, but I kept finding myself wanting it to slow down, knowing I would never have the opportunity to be a college student again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely greatful that I was fortunate enough to not only attend, but graduate from an university, I can’t help but feel blue…”the post grad blues” as everyone calls it. I’m not living in the same house as my best friends anymore, or just a block away from others, socializing and living the fabulous life of Los Angeles, but there’s something else that’s missing.
All I can think about is, what is my purpose in life??
Woah. What a loaded question. And yet it has been the only thing on my mind the past couple months after graduation. I went to school and am currently in the field of Public Relations. I really enjoy it so far, but do I want to still be in this field in 40 years? That just seems like a long time to do ANYTHING, right?
Maybe I’m just overthinking it, but is it acceptable to want to change career paths in 10 years, when I don’t even know what I would want to do? Especially when I’ve barely started this career? I don’t even know if this is “my purpose” in life. But, then again, I have the freedom to choose whatever I want to do, right? Kind of, I have to choose a field that makes me happy. I’m scared, anxious, but excited what the rest of my life will bring, but for now PR-you are my present!
