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.

Your blogs are very good, however you could be more opinionated and have an argumentative blog. It is easier for people to comment on your blogs if you have an argumentative topic as well. Don't forget that we need to have one by the end of this months blogging!!
I agree with LittleCoe4 about how scary it is to envision myself outside college. My parents remind me every single day about how poor the economy is, and that I have to take advantage of every single opportunity around me, because you never know what can happen. I have just figured out what I want to major in, but I have absolutely no idea what it is that i really want to do. In these times, is it necessary to have a clear idea of what you want to do at such a young age? It certainly seems like it. I feel like I should start pursuing internship and job opportunities pertaining to my major already. This really scares me. Today we live in such a fast paced world and it actually rather frightening. We have hardly any time to enjoy just being college kids and taking interesting courses. It is all about looking ahead as to what our future holds and how we can advance ourselves. I wish society would just slow down and people could breathe and not have to worry so much about what will happen to them 6 years from now. Maybe if we did all relax a bit, the economy and pressure to succeed would not be so horrible and we could possibly even be more successful in life.
