Dear Graduate,
So, you’ve taken your last final, walked across the stage (perhaps virtually), grasped your diploma with both hands, thrown your cap into the air, and snapped photos with your (now former) classmates. Congratulations! If you’re anything like me on my graduation day, you’re feeling, well, totally and utterly lost—and okay, maybe a little hopeful, I mean, you did get through all of those all-nighters and 8 a.m. classes where attendance counted—the real world can’t be worse than that, right?
Ahead of you lies days—no, weeks—of job applications, resume formatting, cover letters, bills, more bills, laundry, apartment hunting, frustrating talks with your parents, crippling self-doubt... okay, I’ll stop. Things are probably overwhelming enough as it is for you. First: Breathe! You will get through this. Then, listen to some advice from adultier-adults who have been there, done that. You’ll be just fine.
