I feel as if I have stepped into a revolving door with no exits, leaving me unable to escape the spinning around in circles. I can see what is on all sides though I continue to turn and see the images of my life (past and present) and what I want my life to be (future) revolve around me. We are stuck in the middle looking back at our years of college and peering forward into the uncertainty of real life. What keeps us inside this trap is the question that lingers on everyone’s minds and gets brought up by everyone we encounter: What comes next? Unlike after graduating high school where our paths are determined for us this step of life comes with more pressure, expectation and more not knowing what the fuck to do.
I say this for I am in the midst of a college internship, a glorified title for a person who makes excel spreadsheets and updates calendars but most of all counts the hours, minutes and seconds until they can go home. The internships are supposed to show us a window into the career that we think we are interested in but the only peak I have caught is down the shirt of the right out of college girls low cut shirts (and it’s a nice site at that). I would guess that more times than college students do these internships not because they want to but to boost their resumes and get that cushy job making 70k a year but working 60+ hours a week.
I say slow down and what's the big rush. Take time to do things that the age of 21 gives you a chance to do. Travel, take drugs, experiment sexually, write but most of all live.
