'Don't worry about other people's timelines.'
The class of 2022 will be the third in a row to graduate into a pandemic. With graduation season underway, seniors are facing a mix of emotions: excitement to be finishing a college education that consisted of more Zoom classes than they imagined, sadness about the experiences they missed out on during COVID, anxiety about entering the job market, and uncertainty about what comes next.
My college experiment was already challenging before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the introduction of remote learning and my lack of connection, focus, and productivity in the remote environment caused me to decide to graduate early. In the five months since I graduated, I have found that all of my fears and excitement were well-founded.
I know a lot of people will tell you your major, your degree, or college is useless. Don't listen to them. You worked hard as hell for that degree. Don't feel discouraged. You will find a job, you will survive, and you will thrive.
