This next phase of my life will be filled with plenty of challenges as I figure out what I’m going to be doing in the adult world. Finishing my senior year of college and determining where I’m going to work is one of those difficulties. While I’ve done a lot to prepare, there’s still so many things I need to buy for an apartment. So many things to budget for, including a decent bed for me to try and get solid rest, something which has been a struggle for as long as I can remember.
Even just with graduating college, there’s so many things that I have to acquire in the meantime like my cap and gown. There’s planning a potential graduation party. Determining who’s invited and who isn’t. All of those things require mental energy and take away from the various things that I want to do most in life. Planning accounts for around forty to fifty percent of my mental bandwidth because I’m always trying to anticipate the next possible problem that might come my way.
So, the biggest struggle I’ll be facing in the next six months is the uncertainty of a new beginning. Many of my friends will move to various places for their future jobs and school careers. I’ll likely move away from my family to become more independent. Meanwhile, I’ll be trying to forge new connections with people around me in my new environments. So, that’s a little insight into the future of my current situation. I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun once I get settled in though…
