Last semester

Post by Autumn »

School starts tomorrow! :'( It's my last semester of university and I'm so happy but so scared and nervous. I'm happy because I'm finally done but nervous because I don't know what I wanna do after this. Should I join Americorps and volunteer for a year or travel and be carefree for once? I'm only 22 once.

What did you guys do once you were done with school?

Americorps? Who are they?

Don't believe the hype of living carefree, there's nothing carefree or fun about struggling to pay phone bills because you took a sabbatical with no money.

Get a job, anything half decent, progress and build a structure in life. You have enough hours in the evenings and on weekends to let your hair down.

Jeffo- That's interesting. What was so interesting about the internet that made you commit to it for a year?

Marques- Americorps is a national nonprofit volunteering organization that's dedicated to helping communities nation wide. By joining it, I would become a volunteer for a year and they would pay for my living expenses because I wouldn't be able to get a job and do this at the same time. It's a full time position.

I just don't know if I want to commit to this so early.

Could look good on your resumé, network as much as you can along the way.

Nothing really. Just a time killing technique for a social recluse.

Corporate life sucks, try to postpone it for as long as you can. Go for Americorps.
