Now that I am close to the end of my education here at SMSU I need to start thinking about finding a big girl job.
People always made it seem like it was really hard to find that job that you want right out of college, and I really hope that isn't true... But so far it seems like everyone is right.
I have contacted a few people for helpful information on what to do or where to look for a job when I am done in December. I have got many answers but none of them are very promising. I am starting to panic. I don't want to be a server the rest of my life. I can barely stand working more than a weekend at the place I work at!
I NEED CHANGE AND I NEED TO START MY LIFE!
But it is scary to think that I have to do this on my own. With no help from a professor or parent. I am pretty much on my own.
AND I AM TERRIFIED.
Ok: I'm going to let you in on a secret: you have started your life. This whole thing about there being "real life" is a myth. It's all real life. You're doing it now. Your life might look differently in 3 years than it does now, but the basic stuff: showing up, working hard, enjoying your friends and family, learning, thinking, struggling-- all that stuff is the same. (I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know.)
ReplyDeleteSomething will work out for you. I am confident. The panic-- it's normal. I went through it (about 3 or 4 times)-- as has everyone else I've known. Maybe there are people out there who don't, but I don't run in those circles. ;-)
What I'm saying: hang in there. Keep asking and talking to people. Don't despair. Stay confident in yourself and your abilities. Good things are coming your way!
Thanks for the advice and confidence!
