PhisigWarner,
Take a deep breath and be excited to be in your last semester of college. While it is very overwhelming, you don't want to miss out on all the fun things that are occurring around you. After all, once you're a graduate, they will be fond memories of your college years. (Trust me, I have only been out of school since May 2002 and I feel like I missed out on a lot of things because I was so worried about what I was going to do after graduation.)
Here's my advice: 1) Get your resume posted on monster.com and careerbuilder.com. You might not have your degree yet, but every bit of exposure will help you find a perfect job. 2) It might sound silly, but can you get a job waitressing or bartending somewhere? That's how I got myself through college and paid all my bills. Quick money, not too stressful (okay, I'm lying cause some customers can be a royal pain in the butt), and you can usually work around your school schedule. I know it's not an internship, but you'll make some money. Most internships aren't paid (atleast they aren't around Maryland) and unless you have mommy and daddy paying for everything, college students like us can't afford to take one. Yes, it is a foot in the door to the "real world," but sometimes you have to do what's best for you.
As far as you and your boyfriend go, how far apart are Brooklyn and Long Island? I have never been to NY and I have no clue! I know, "What, she's never been to NY and she lives on the East Coast?" I'm pathetic
Anyway, back to what I was saying. If your relationship with him is strong, you will work it out. Sounds like mother advice and I know it seems like the end of the world, but everything works out in the end. True loves withstands anything and everything that the world can throw at you.
I know my advice isn't the best out there, but I want you to know that a sister in Maryland is thinking about you and hoping your last semester of college is worthwhile. It's hard for people who aren't in your shoes to understand what it feels like. But, I've been there and I didn't have anyone giving me advice on how to get through it. But you know what, everything worked out for me, my job, and my relationship. Never stop reaching~you're a Phi Sig~Aim High....and keep your head up.
You can PM me if you ever want to chat.
LITP,
Jadey
