Shit, I don’t think I like it here

I must admit, this whole growing up process is more than I bargained for. I just want the movie-like coming of age life, not THIS!

So, What now?

Can’t lie, this isn’t the picturesque fantasy I had in my head when I thought about college and growing up. I’m at the cross road stage, I’m graduating soon and now I have to decide on what’s next. Honestly I get it, I get the whole idea of “You don’t have to have your life planned out” and “Don’t feel too much pressure because you don’t know what’s next”, but for me personally I love to plan. I’m big on planning my life out step by step so I have some structure, so the fact that I’m not sure what comes next is kind of throwing me off and making me highly anxious. Truth is I had this part planned out too. I would graduate undergrad and go to grad school the following fall while working full (or part) time in New York where I’ve just moved to, but now I don’t know. I mean, I still plan on moving to New York right after graduation and hope to have a job, but I don’t know about grad school any more and finding jobs is much harder than it should be. So, what now? That’s what I’m left wondering.

Talk to me, what now for you? Where are you right now, what are you doing, where are you going, and how do you feel?
