The Future Lies Within

The Future Lies Within The end was finally in sight. It had been a long 4 years. And by long I mean extremely long and excruciatingly hard. And by 4 years, I technically mean 4 and a half years, but who’s counting right? My time at college certainly had it’s ups and downs. But lucky for me, I found a way to get through it all. Keeping a full-time job and a full class schedule was not an easy feat, especially because I changed majors after my first year. Since I was already a year into my English Lit course load and had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with that degree after graduation, I decided I should probably change it to something more practical. I figured Business was pretty universal and after going through the different courses required with that degree, I’d find the path I wanted to go. All great in theory - however, with only 6 weeks left before graduation, I still had absolutely no idea what to do next. These things only happen in the movies, I thought. But as I started to feel the walls closing in on my time as a college student, I realized this was very real and very much so happening to me.
