Question for my proud seniors!

I’ve been ready to graduate since I started college! I’m always excited about school at the beginning of the year, but after those first few weeks I’m already sick of it. I’m ready to get out in my field and start working. However, I’m starting to doubt if I’m prepared enough. I kind of feel like I haven’t taken full advantage of my classes, but since I still have a lot more of the really important classes for my major left I’m not too worried yet. Lately I’ve been thinking about doing another internship after spring semester after finding one that sounds really great. I’ll just see where I stand spring semester. It’s too early to tell- my goals, my interests, and my fears change a lot and I’m constantly discovering more about my career goals so I’m not going to say for sure what it is I’ll do.

At the same time I LOVE the school I transfered to, I’ve made fantastic friends, and I don’t mind the academic life all that much, really. I’ve been thinking about grad school for the first time just in the past few months (a little late, I know!) so who knows, maybe I’ll end up in school again in a few years. I’ve also considered doing technical certificates to earn more training in specific areas of my major. So I can’t say for sure if I’m completely done with school, but it will be nice to be able to join the work force and start working towards my dream.

The worst thing about it being my last year of school? I keep forgetting that it’s my last year of school! When I saw that scholarships for next year were going to be posted in the next month I was like “well, I need to do that soon!”. But there is no next year of school! Crazy! Well, unless something goes wrong, of course. Anything can happen! I even hate saying that I’m graduating next spring/summer because there can always be last minute problems, and I don’t want to disappoint myself.

My answers in this forum are always too long, lol!
