What Really Happens After Graduation?

9/7/2017

1 Comment

 
Life is full of twists and turns, not least after you graduate from college. You've spent your formative years working hard on studying, and now you've adorned the mortar board and gained that diploma. But on that momentous day in your life, no doubt a few worries are running through your mind. Let's get this out of the way, life can suck on occasion, it can be difficult, but you've got to work hard to achieve what you want in life. 

But how can we make the most of life after we graduate?

Job Hunting, The Necessary Evil

You may certainly feel that after graduation that you can go straight towards your chosen career, or you may not have any idea of what you want to do just yet, which is absolutely fine. But it can be a very tiring process, sending resume after resume, to find that you are one of the hundreds of applicants, and it's not even for a high-powered job! Unfortunately, in the short term, it's a necessary evil, we all need to learn our way, even if it's to pay back some of the debt you've accrued throughout college. The finance aspect can be very stressful indeed, but as long as you are savvy in how you are working to pay it back (as long as you pay a little bit back here and there), you are on the right track. There are suitable resources you can find online, such as consolidatestudent.loan that can point you in the right direction. So make sure you get all the help you can, whether it's financial, moral, or career help. You won't get the job you want right away, but the fact is that no one does! The cliché is we've all got to start somewhere, so remember that.
Your Life Will Change, For The Better

It may not feel like it at the time, but getting out of university and embarking on that long journey through life will be the making of you. Going through college with a simple structure of lectures/socializing/sleep is fine, to begin with. But life in the Big Wide World means you will go through a lot of tough times. You will find you have a lot less money than you did during college (yes really!), so if you want to try and keep some part of your student life alive with less budget, it’s worth looking at frugal living sites like thebalance.com to get some inspiration. And working from 9 to 5 may seem pretty straightforward, but for the first year after graduating it does drain you a bit. So you may find you will have to change your socializing habits, that means no more staying out until 2 a.m. and rolling out of bed just in time for work at 9. Your body will thank you! There's also the possibility of creating your own business and not worrying about working on a desk. Either way, your body needs rest and needs to refuel its energy, so be kind to it.

University is a fantastic time in your life, you will learn a lot about yourself. Life becomes infinitely more challenging, but you will find out what you are capable of as a person. You will still embody some of the traits of a student for many years to come after graduating, living with roommates, heading out on Friday, Saturday and, occasionally, Sunday night, but it's something that will gradually fade away, and you will be happier for it!
