Well it's finally here! Tomorrow is my very last exam through my academic college! I am so excited finally have reached this milestone in my life. It's hard though because I am not one of those people who has a super stable and realistic plan for what to do next. My friends seem to either be going to graduate schools or know exactly what field or position they will be working in, where as I am a little different. Sure I might seek and office or marketing job and I might be totally happy with that, but the dreamer in me still wants to work on making my Etsy shop and (eventually) my photography grow into a career. I am planning to finish my photography certification now that I will have more time to devote, and really see where it can take me. I know it's a more risky path and I feel worried that I will be judged by it all the time. My friends are very supportive of it but I often doubt myself.
This is one of the most exciting times in my life, but also one of the most scary. At every other transition phase I had a safety net of school. The transition from high school to college was nerve-wracking but i knew I still had four years of a plan. It's different now, I graduate next week and it feels kind of like I am finally jumping without a safety net. The possibilities are very exciting but the unknown is a little stressful.
I want to thank all of my family and friends over their support through all these years in school. It was a wonderful experience and I can't believe it is coming to a close. My education won't stop here though, I will be working on the photography class, possibly working on my adobe certifications, and chasing dreams. Regardless on if this photography and design business is something I pursue right away or five years down the line, or if it remains just a hobby forever I'm still going to work on bettering myself and enjoying it!
It will be very interesting to see what my post in six months to a year from now say...who knows where I'll be!
