TRUE LIFE: I’m a Graduating Co-ed

[Sigh] lately I find myself slowly adjusting to the fact that life around the grassy knoll, aka “the Oval,” as I know it will soon come to an end. Then reality hits me and I realize that with GRE testing, grad school apps and semester internships I’ll soon feel the déjà vu of my senior year, in high school, and I don’t know where to begin to prepare for life after Spelman!!!

Grad School OR Bust

Like college after high school, grad school is often seen as the next step following life as an undergrad. But don’t base the success of your desired career choice on whether or not you decide to further your education. Take me for example, as an aspiring Journalist my success really boils down to gained experience rather than how many degrees I can accumulate.

Tests, Tests, Tests!!!

GRE, MCAT, LSAT. If you are considering graduate, medical or law school you are once again faced with testing requirements needed to enter these institutions. Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t worry, like the ACT and SAT, these tests come with study guides, sponsored courses and more to help assist you with successfully getting a high score!   

Saying Goodbye…

Throughout your college career you have come to know those you now call friends, developed professional relationships and maybe even some personal ones. As you get ready to leave one phase and embark upon the next journey of your life, look at this not as the time to say goodbye, but rather see you later.

What’s Next?

Co-eds only you can answer this question; in all honesty, I cannot fully answer this question for myself. As a graduating senior, my advice to you is to do what you find you’re truly passionate about and always be sure to follow your dreams!

Cry, laugh and celebrate these last moments and remember be happy, be healthy and always stay classy!
