Earlier this week, I finished my three and a half year stint at the University of Illinois at Chicago. It was a crazy race to the finish line: 17 credit hours which included six credit hours of independent work.
It is weird to say that I have finished my undergrad career. It was exciting, but now I feel scared. It's probably how most people feel, unless they have a job lined up which I unfortunately do not have. So I have a BA in English and a minor in sociology. What is that even supposed to do for me? At least I do not have student loans. That is due to the fact that my parents were ridiculously frugal for all of my life and also thanks to grants and Honors College tuition waivers (the best).
So what will I be doing now? I'll continue working where I am now. My boss has graciously allowed me to stay on board until I can transition to a full time job. I must say, unlike a lot of people, I really enjoy the people I work with. Everyone on the admin team is so nice and friendly. If only it were a full time job.
Of course I will also be searching for another work opportunity. I also want to do other things like sew, work on my Chinese and French, learn Spanish, read lots of chick lit, do crafts, and spend time with people I love. Graduate school is most likely in my future.
