So this week has been interesting, but I've officially decided that I'm tired of being a student. After 16+ years of education, I have had enough of everything involved with classes and school. I realize that I have a little under two months left until graduation, and I don't mean to imply that I will be entirely happy to graduate from college, but I will be more than happy to be done with classes after finals week. After 4 years of trying to figure out exactly how much effort I should put into assignments and how I should try to overcome procrastination, I've decided that the quality of my work doesn't depend on the amount of effort I put into it.
This feeling mostly stems from a specific class that I have this semester, but in general, I think I'm more than ready to move on into the next stage of my life. Beginning my career will be difficult, as I've found with trying to find a job for post-graduation that is both interesting and truly entry-level. It is amazing how many job postings claim to be entry-level and then require anywhere from 1 to 6 years of experience. For the field I want to go into, I have maximum of 3 months experience, in addition to the bachelors degree that I will get in May. I know that there are jobs that I could do, the trick is finding the companies looking for recent graduates or other people with little to no job experience. And I'd really love to have a job that I enjoy, but that may have to wait until the job market improves... who knows?
