Well, the time is here. You’re getting ready to graduate. One day you’re looking at your calendar and it hits you: holy crap, there’s only 100 days until graduation. Time for me to question every move I’ve made over the past four years.
Coming from someone who has been there, it is okay. It’s not the end of the world for you to question your future. In fact, I think it’s pretty crazy that we are expected to decide the rest of our lives when we’re 22 years old. Like, hellloooo. I’ve changed more in the past two months than what I did my entire four years of college.
These next 7 years are crucial. It’s where we will do the most growing, where we will find out who we are and what we are supposed to do. My advice: try everything.
Take the cross-country road trip with your best friend.
Read 25 books in one summer.
Buy a puppy.
Try to publish a story you’ve been working on for the past 6 months.
Be adventurous.
Don’t go to grad school right away.
Or maybe do, if you’re hesitant.
Be as crazy as you possibly can. You’re still young. You have the rest of your life to figure everything out. It’s perfectly okay if you don’t know where your path may lead just yet. You may find that in your journey to find yourself. I promise you will learn more in your adventure than you will worrying about whether you made the right decision.
Your twenties are meant for growth, adventure, and freedom. Take the chance.
