My life as a university student has ended (on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 3pm to be exact). It feels like my entire life is over because of all the experiences and memories I made as a student, the friendships and the enemies, the lessons learnt (mostly outside of the classroom) and the way it seemed like it would never end. Now it has.
But my life is not over, it has only just begun.
As a 20-something living in the huge city of Toronto, I look forward to taking full advantage of my last summer as a reckless wild child before setting my sights on a successful career. But first of all there’s an inner sense of panic: Where do I go from here? Is this real life? Will I be okay?
And the answers are:
1. Job-hunt. I’m lucky that Toronto is a city rich with culture and the capacity for exciting opportunities. Resumes galore will be printed and handed out, plus I’m killer when it comes to face-to-face interviews.
2. Move out of my parent’s house. My childhood bedroom that I have to live in now since I’ve left uni isn’t quite my style. Grab some cute little space down town, make it my own, have quality people over often.
3. Love my life. Being responsible with my money is going to be a big step. Focussing on my career and my life will allow me to be who I want to be: a creative, social and incredibly happy city girl.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
