Never give up on an opportunity for education, to educate yourself is a very pivoting experience.
The seemingly biggest existential crisis for most of us, if not all, hits when you’ve finally graduated but can’t focus on what is the next right step. This comes with a lot of challenges and pressures, but always remember; to focus on what you want, these are the years where you can mess up, pick up the pieces and move forward, do that, unabashedly.
Are you scared, or not ready to take up your Masters? Or do you want to look for a stable job right away? This is your life, and you get the reigns for it, no matter the pressure, don’t let people fool you into pursuing what you weren’t read for, these people are not gonna be around forever to scrutinise you, we all just need to learn to create healthy boundaries.
Make sure you are engaging yourself with all sorts of information and not just one sided research thrusted upon you by someone. That’s got to be your first step.
Think clear of long term goals before pursuing any thing, imaging what do you consider of yourself in the next 10 years, and plan accordingly.
If the situation isn’t favourable now, that doesn’t necessarily should spiral you into depression, work hard on proving a plan, it seems superficial for some, but it always works.
Have your plans gone sour? No worries, it’s not the end of the world, nothing truly happening to you is, just keep a calm mind and multiple options at your disposal; never put all your eggs in one basket.
Your degree doesn’t satisfy what you had planned, get another one, it’s just matter of years you’d put in, and it would be enlightening.
Take up courses, brush up your skills, know more and have the zeal to learn and tackle anything, and that’s it for you, if you could just wholesomely tackle anything that is in you way, you can surely win over all your situations.
But, most importantly, don’t run behind something or someone, you’re young, you’re going to make mistakes and you need to own upto it, but sticking to someone or something would always narrow down your path while you just want to do the opposite.
Just make sure that you —no matter what’s the situation is in ahead of you don’t loose faith in yourself, even when no one truly are standing besides you; because its always empty at the top 😉
