Yikes! It's already October of my senior year of college, and I still don't have a clear-cut idea about what I want to do when I get out of the Joe. I mean, I know I want to do something in Sports Information at a Division I institution, but who knows if that idea will ever come to fruition. The bottom line is that I need to get rolling on some things!
I have a feeling that I am never really going to fully appreciate the Joe until after I leave. I say that because it has flown by sooo fast. I remember what one of my mother's friends told me when I had graduated from high school: that college flies by. Boy, was she right. I have enjoyed my time here, but the really scary thing is wondering what I am going to do when I leave this place. It's scary because you strive towards understanding a particular discipline in college, but you may not fully use your understanding of that discipline in your final career as an adult in the real world. It's that uncertainty of the future that is weird.
But I guess instead of being worried about the future and what job I am going to fulfill six months down the road, I just need to worry about what I've accomplished today. Although that is easier said than done, its crucial for me to realize that if I want to enjoy these next few months. I have been blessed with great friends and a spectacular opportunities to be involved on campus. Life is definitely a roller coaster ride, and it will throw you off if you don't hold on tight (all apologies to Darryl Worley).

Jobs. I think we should all just go to grad school to put off joining the real world a little bit longer. LoL, but seriously I think all college seniors feel the same way unless they are really lucky and already have a job lined up. We just have to put forth our best efforts and hope something good will happen.
It sounds cliche, but it's so true: time really does fly by, especially in college. I know I didn't appreciate enough being able to take afternoon naps after class, being able to walk around in pajama pants and flip flops Monday through Friday if I wanted to, having a whole staff on call to cook my meals. Enjoy it while you can!
