“What’s your plan for after graduation?!” There it is–every college student’s favorite question. Even though I’m only a sophomore, getting asked about my future plans when I don’t even know those plans myself can be very nerve-wracking and stressful, and I can only imagine that those feelings intensify as college students get closer and closer to getting their degrees. Whether it’s relatives, family friends, professors or peers, having to explain or express your uncertainty to people never gets easier, and can definitely feel very defeating.
No matter how annoying it can be to not know what you want to do with your life after college, the truth is this: it’s completely normal. I still have two more years until I walk across the stage in my cap and gown, but I already know I’ll have to remind myself when I do that everything’s going to be alright. Everyone’s going to get to where they’re going on their own timeline and at their own pace, and the path you choose isn't wrong. Whatever you do, it's going to get you where you're going, even if it doesn't always seem right.
