The fuzzy path of graduation excitement and fear

The excitement and fear of graduation approaching faster than expected is really starting to become a reality.  I can't wait till graduation day when I get to walk down the hill towards the graduation commencement.  With all this excitement building up I also have that twinge of fear of not having a job after graduation.  I would love to tell family and friends at graduation that I have a job all lined up after graduation but unfortunately at this time I don't.  It would definitely make celebrating graduation a lot less stressful and more exciting if I had a job afterwards.  However, job or no job it will still be exciting to tell people I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Kansas' distinguished William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications.  It is also a sense of pride and quite an accomplishment because I will be the first in my family to receive a four year degree.  I am extremely proud to very soon be a first generation college graduate.  I know my family is just as excited as I am and that means a lot to me to hear how happy they are for me.  So in order to get this far there are a few important things you have to remember along the way and the path can get a little fuzzy sometimes...especially with a tough course load.
