My take on college ✨

Getting the the finish line after many sacrifices has been full of emotions for me. I’m happy but like many of us the questions that follows is… “now what?

I feel that I’m grieving, in a way I’m closing this chapter and beginning a new one full of opportunities. The job market is challenging to say the least and I have been trying my best to not stress but it gets to you. To the new grads, congratulations! You did it!!!

I hope that you land the perfect role or your dream job or even that you are able to start that business that you’ve always wanted to! I would love to stage more of my journey. If you live in the Bay Area, I would love to connect 🤍

San Francisco Bay Area

2024/7/13 Edited to

Graduating from college is a significant milestone that can evoke a range of emotions—from joy and pride to anxiety about the future. As many new graduates face the reality of job searching, it's essential to acknowledge the challenges that come with this transition. The job market can be competitive, but it's crucial to stay motivated and positive. Engaging in activities that ground you, such as maintaining a fitness routine, can enhance your resilience during this stressful time. Moreover, solo adventures or networking can lead to new friendships and opportunities, especially if you’re in a vibrant area like the Bay Area. Becoming part of platforms where you can share experiences related to post-college life, such as social media communities, can be incredibly beneficial. Utilizing hashtags like #newgrad, #jobsearch, and #gradseason will help connect you with others undergoing similar journeys. It's comforting to know you’re not alone in this experience and can find encouragement and advice from fellow graduates. Acknowledge your unique experiences, and remember that reaching out to others can provide valuable support in landing your dream role or starting that business you’ve always dreamed about.
