The end is nearing...

I will be graduating in May, finally. I am nervous, excited, overwhelmed, scared, anxious, and so much more. The reality of the real world will quickly set in and I am almost sure I won't like it! The tastes of the real world that I have had, I am not a fan of.

I have always been envious of people who know EXACTLY what they want to do with their lives. At the same time, I also feel sorry for the same people because they never gave themselves a chance to want or experience anything else. They generally have such tunnel vision on what they want and how to get there, and when they get there sometimes it's not always what they imagined. They stay because they don't know anything else and it would be admitting to failure if they quit what they'd always dreamed of. Don't get me wrong, there are people who have always known what they wanted to do with their lives...and it does end up being the right fit for them, but generally I see people disappointed with what they end up with.

I feel like I always have these ideas about what I want to do with my life, but I feel that there i so much I want to do with my life and then I feel like I can't decide upon anything! That's when I start getting discouraged. I am so close to beginning my professional life, yet I feel that I have no idea where I am going. I know that as of right now I want to work for an advertising agency, but I don't know if that's what I want to do my entire life.

I have always enjoyed helping people and making a difference, but I do also really enjoy marketing. When I first began my college life at Ripon, I was majoring in Sociology and athletic training and I loved both! When I transferred to Alverno I had to change my major, especially because of the weekend program; so I chose marketing, which I really seem to enjoy.

I hope that I can find a job with an ad agency and within that I hope that I can make companies socially responsible because I think that's very important.
