New Grad Anxiety?
Hey GC,
I haven't been on GC in a while but I have a quick question for all of you new and old grads. I graduated this past June and instead of being really excited about being an "adult" now, I just seem to miss and reminisce about college and my sorority. Maybe it's because of this horrible job market, having to now take on real responsiblities and also due to the fact that I am horrible when it comes to change, but I feel that it is going to be kind of hard for me to transition from college. I'm dreading football season because I won't be in the fun, crazy student section anymore and I get so envious of all of my friends in the house when they talk about getting ready for rush and moving back in the house. I loved college...walking around campus, going to class and learning so many interesting things and well, just being in the environment of college life. I can't really talk to my friends or boyfriend about it because three out of my four best friends are taking a fifth year and the other is working abroad so they really don't understand. I just feel like I'm leaving this whole life and family behind. I know I can visit but I don't want to be one of those pathetic grads who comes back all the time.
Anyway, my question was if anyone else has felt that way or is feeling that way after graduation? I would feel so much better if I knew I wasn't the only one being crazy!
P.S. Don't worry...I'm not seriously depressed or anything but just kind of sad about this big change in my life and my Mom promises it will be better when I get a job!
