I'm Graduating in 2 Months!

Guess who is excited to finally get to graduate from college after 4 years of studying a course that she felt like she had no choice but to get admitted into the Business Administration department already before the slots are all filled up. Yes, it's me. And I'm writing in advance again even if I'm not yet really sure if I will graduate on time or not because I don't know if my professor will pass me on both of my subjects this semester or if he holds a grudge against me for reasons I am not aware of. Lols! But of course, I'm already claiming that I will graduate this July, and hopefully, I will be able to graduate with flying colors too. Char! 😂

Our University has already given a schedule for this school year's commencement exercises or our Graduation Day, which is scheduled for July 15, 2022, or less than 2 months from now. They have also started conducting surveys about what the graduating students prefer to use as our Academic costume on that special day, whether we would go for Toga or the Sablay. In the survey, I answered that I would go for Toga for the reason that I don't want to use a Filipiniana on that day. But later on, I realized that it would be more meaningful and symbolic if we use Sablay and Filipiniana for the girls and Barong Tagalog for the boys. Well, whatever the majority decides to use, then we will just go for it.

To be honest, I'm extra ecstatic right now that I'm already so close to saying goodbye to my college life. It's not that I'm excited to be out in the real world and face all of the challenges that life will offer, but I'm just happy because I will no longer need to attend my classes and do projects that my professors would give us. It's not that I don't like learning but maybe I have already lost my enthusiasm and passion to study in the four corners of the classroom. But I'm sure that I will miss being a college student somehow.

When the last semester of my college life started, I was worried that I might not be able to surpass all of the challenges that this semester has. I had a lot of doubts if I will be able to make it this far. And the fact that our requirement for one of our subjects is our Research paper or Thesis like what other students call it, I wasn't sure if we could make it. Maybe, I was just too negative to think that way. Thankfully, we had a hands-on leader, and almost all of my group mates were also cooperative with the tasks given to them, and we were able to defend our thesis study from our chosen panels.

Now that I'm just 2 months away from closing this certain chapter in my life and getting to open a brand new one, I can't help but ask myself, "What's my plan after graduating from college?"

Actually, I have a lot of goals in life that's why I also have countless plans that I'm planning to do and pursue once I am already out of college. However, having a lot of plans, I find it challenging to choose which among them should I take. I still haven't decided what path will I choose to follow and prioritize.

I'm having a hard time thinking if I will just push through applying for a job in the city that is fit for my skills. Or should I just continue being a freelancer and make a career in the virtual world so that I can work even if I'm just in the comfort of my home? Perhaps, I should just try my luck in seeking a greener pasture and see if I will be able to land a job abroad to have a better salary. Maybe, I should just start up a business in our town and make use of the learnings I have acquired in college. Or should I just keep hustling in the crypto world since it has been my bread and butter for a while already?

These are just some of the options that I'm thinking of right now. And as much as I want to prepare for the future to have the best life that I want, I also don't want to pressure myself about it as I've been worrying about my future too many times already. For now, I just want to enjoy the process and live in the moment.

Cheers to closing this chapter soon!
