Lately, I have been thinking about my upcoming graduation. At the same time, I am also avoiding thinking about it because I have no idea what I am going to do after I graduate. I am so scared that I think I might even add a minor just so I can stay in school longer. I think I was very comfortable with the time I had to decide what I wanted to do after graduation that I kept putting actually after university planning aside. But now the time has come and I have a short amount of time to decide everything. Time really is fleeting and even this semester feels like it just started and we are almost done. At the moment, I am going with the flow and I hope that this strategy works out. I have learned to be accepting of what life throws my way and try to make things work out for the better.  I also believe that everything will eventually work itself out.

In times of uncertainty, like these, I often think of one of my heroes, Oprah Winfrey. Oprah had a rough start, but eventually she was able to successfully build an empire through all of her hard work, setting an example that anything is really possible, even if you don’t get the best start. Maybe I’ll decide to go to graduate school or even travel for a bit until I decide what to do next, but things have a way of happening that makes the journey worthwhile.  Even though things seem scary now, I am excited for things to come.
