What will my life be after all that time spent reading text books, writing papers, and attending classes. I am honestly not sure. As I write this I am really unsure what I wanna do? Who I wanna be?
The last semester of college some programs require you to do an internship somewhere. I decided to do mine at the University of Montana Printing and Graphics. I started in mid January put in over a 100 hours of unpaid internship hours and was hired on till the end of the semester classified as a student worker. I have learned so much from a job I only had for a short while. The people I have met and come to enjoy the company was well worth putting in more hours then needed for my internship class. I was very grateful they wanted to keep me for more then what we had originally planned. I have more job skills then I would have had coming outta just my college career.
By the end of July my contract is ending. And I am honestly glad to be able to say this chapter in my life will come to a close and that I will be able to find my career path I want to take.
My advice as I am leaving college is this.
1. Don't take out more than you need. If you can talk someone into letting you sleep on their couch or a floor somewhere do it.
2. Eat cheep, Ramen noodles and tv dinners are easy and cheep. Save as much as you can.
3. Talk to a student or an alumni that was recently graduated and ask them for help making an academic plan. This will save you time and money on tuition so you are not taking extra semesters and classees you don't need.
4. If you can find a good student job on campus, take it. The campus is a big employer of student employees and they work around your class schedule.
5. Don't take on too much.
