It was easy to decide what school to go to, what I wanted to start majoring in, and going to class. Although now it continues to get more and more stressful as the years go on thinking about graduating and getting a real job. I'm sure everyone has been through this; you never think that you will ever have to actually deal with getting a 'big person job' but it happens. I still have two years to go and once finals hits all I can think about is getting a job.
Every once in a while I wish that I could just win the lottery and do whatever I want for the rest of my life But I know that is not going to happen to me. If only it was that easy.
I actually have gotten so stressed with the idea of having to get a job after graduation that I'm considering changing my major to Education. Both my parents are teachers and I wanted to obviously rebel against the idea of following in my parents footsteps but now its starting to seem like summers and Christmas break every year would be pretty nice.
Another thing that I noticed is that it seems like everyone is getting Married! One of my best friends just recently got engaged and it amazes me to look back on high school and remember her crying to me about her ex-boyfriend!
It's kind of depressing to think how old we are all getting, but the reality is that we all have to grow up and get over it.
My advice to you, is don't stress about a job yet! You still have two years left, and my junior and senior year of college were by far my favorite. I am graduating in May and am still jobless, but as my dad has told me "you have the rest of your life to find a job and work". Enjoy your college days, and don't worry about the future (yet)- 2 years is a long time!!
I would definitely have to agree with Ashley. Enjoy college! I am in your same position, I too am a sophomore and have at times been a little freaked out at the thought of having to go out and get a real job and basically grow up. However, this opportunity, college, gives us a safe haven from that world right now. While it is always important for it to be in the back of your mind, don't let it consume you. One step at a time.
