What About Now?
Congratulations! You’ve graduated from university. Midterms, finals, projects, submissions… It’s all behind you. Your family and friends are really happy and proud of you. You threw your cap in the air with everyone, proud of your achievement. But are you still as happy when you catch the cap?
The turmoil and anxiety that has been swirling in the back of your head for years is now at its highest power. The stress you have been trying to silence for years is now screaming at you. Until now you knew what to do and how to do it. But what about now?
Maybe one voice tells you to continue academia, to start graduate school. Another voice tells you to find a job, another voice tells you to study for exams again, and another voice tells you to become an entrepreneur… Aside from the voices in your head that you are trying to silence, everyone around you is telling you what to do or what not to do. All voices are drowning you at the same time with the same power. However, there is one thing you need to realize that all voices are actually telling you the same thing: “Make your own path and move on!”
We have some small suggestions for you on this road trip…
Social pressure, your ideals, your dreams… It’s all still yours. Remember that. Don’t get into unemployment psychology as soon as you graduate. Have a little patience. Your certificate doesn’t have an expiration date. But you have to remember that a diploma is never enough. Please make the most of this time offered to you to realize yourself without despairing and without thinking that it is too late. Always think about how to be better.
One of the first steps to self-realization should be self-discovery. For this, you must first set a goal. You can start researching what you should do in line with your goal. Maybe in the process, you will realize that you are not who you thought you were.
Do not forget that the most valuable investment you will make during your steps toward your career goal is in yourself. For this reason, you should identify the subjects that you think you are missing and try to complete these subjects.
Go with the flow, keep up
The world is turning at an incredible speed, technology is changing form day by day. Yesterday, the view held by the whole world makes no sense today. If you don’t keep up with this pace or ignore it, you may not find a place in this world. You should follow the developments that are happening every day; you should add whichever will benefit you. Technological developments pave the way for many innovations. As long as you go with the flow and keep up with the new professions and job descriptions, your place is ready!
The key that opens the door to the world…
As the world becomes more globalized and communication technology improves, knowing a foreign language has many benefits in personal and professional life. Communicating with a wider range of people around the world brings career opportunities. This is why you should increase your foreign language skills.
Take care of yourself!
You should not ignore your physical and emotional health in this whole process. To stabilize your life, you need to create a healthy lifestyle. As long as you move forward without losing control of yourself, success will become a journey, not a destination.
Finally…
Enjoy your youth and excitement! You are at the right time to make a mistake. Always prefer your own truth!
