Happy Self-Love Sunday!
Today’s blog doesn’t have a specific topic geared towards self-love. But I want you all to remember to love yourselves, no matter what. Even if you aren’t feeling your best, even if you are questioning yourself, or even if you are content, you always deserve to be loved. And I hope that these Self-Love Sundays have been a reminder of that and continue to be. No, they aren’t over! But, this topic has a Self-Love topic infused within the content as well.

Since school starts for me tomorrow, I felt it was fitting to continue this little college miniseries going. So this blog is serving as a check-in for me, just a little update on the life of a college senior.

I honestly cannot believe that I start my senior year tomorrow. You know I’ve heard people say time flies & I have experience time flying for myself. But I SWEAR my college years have really flown by. People have said that this is the best time of your life. And honestly, I can see why. Since I’m a senior and I’ll be graduating in May, my concerns are now: looking for post undergraduate endeavors, whether it be grad school or a full-time job opportunity. People also say that adulting is hard, and I definitely see why they say that, too!

I remember when my hardest decisions were trying to decide which classes to sign up for and what organizations to dedicate my time too. Now, I’m exploring career paths and opportunities. I’ve always longed to be an adult. But, I must admit it can be pretty scary & I am definitely not in a rush anymore, but it’s kinda too late haha. I am so thankful for the opportunities I have been blessed with over my college career. I am especially thankful for my first corporate internship this summer. I gained a lot of advice, insight, and guidance while interning there and definitely lots of food for thought as I embark on this final year of college.

I am so excited and happy to be a senior, don’t get me wrong. But stepping out into the real world of adulthood is frightening. I want to say that I am ready, but are we ever really ready for that? So for now, I am going to take every thing one step at a time. Figure out what I enjoy and what I don’t, research career options and opportunities, and more than anything have an open mind. The most important piece of advice that someone shared at the internship is that I don’t have to make my mind up about what I want to do for the rest of my life right now. And that is so relieving. There is so much pressure to declare what you want to do for the rest of your life. But things change and how I feel about a career today may not be how I feel a year from now, same for you, and that is perfectly okay!

I can’t wait to decorate my graduation cap, since we couldn’t in highschool. I can’t wait to take graduation pictures, sent out invitations, and plan celebratory graduation festivities. I’m excited to be involved and leave my mark on my campus, while I still can as an undergrad. I’m excited to make memories with my friends, to hang out and just enjoy one another. Even though what is next may be unknown for me currently, I am still excited. And I can’t wait to document it all, via blog or photos. So, to all my college seniors and high school seniors ENJOY YOUR TIME. You can and will never get it back.

So on this Self-Love Sunday, don’t think that you must have it all figured out yet. Because I promise you, you don’t. I don’t, but I do know what interests me and possible careers that are appealing to me. Now, I’m just going to gain exposure and enjoy my last year of undergrad. Sometimes, you have to enjoy the moment you’re in & think about your future as you enjoy. Don’t be so stressed that you forget to enjoy the memories that may never occur again. Here’s to my senior year, may it be filled with countless blessings, experience, and lifetime memories. I may be afraid, but God hasn’t given me the spirit of fear. So I will take comfort in him and enjoy what he has for me, right now.
