Where to go?

So it’s already March and my year as a freshman college student is coming to an end. It’s so scary to think that the time here has flown by so fast. Without any hesitation on my part to explore my options in college, I feel left behind on a year of great memories. Yet nothing can compare to that of a senior in college. I have a sister who is graduating in May and is sitting around thinking what the hell am I supposed to do with my life now?

A topic of issue that interests me is the pressure these students are feeling now that they are about to graduate from college. With the economy in such a downfall there is a panic need for jobs across the nation. These kids, being at the top of that list, are struggling to find out where they are supposed to go with their lives. Interviews and applications are taking over these students’ lives. The need to find out where to live: do you go home, or stay in the city of your college? Also what position are the parents in now to be aiding their children in such a desperate time. I wanted to see what opinions there were on the idea of becoming so independent in such a short time. Seeing as how fast this year went by, I’m sure ill be asking myself this question in the blink of an eye.
