As I was approaching graduation, I remember several of my classmates saying, after this program, "I'm done." And all I could think was,
"are you serious?"
Now that I'm entering my third year of school, I totally get where they were coming from. Group projects, all nighters, unfair marks, $200 textbooks, over booked schedules and lengthy lectures.
I definitely just highlighted the worst of school. However, on that note, when you're in the thick of it, that's all you can really see.
It's as if post-secondary education is one huge thick smoky cloud, that you can't seem to shake.
Statistics are saying that even after completing four years of the most intense crap (for lack of a better word) you've ever been through, getting a job will still be challenging.
BUT what I'm starting to realize is that - it's hard everywhere. Life's hard before school, during school and even after school. Wether you attend two years of college, or no college at all.
The point is - you can't shy away from hard work.
So if you're interning for free, working at McDonald's, holding down a retail job, or entering your third year of college like me, stay woke. Thank God for your tall iced coffee and the opportunity to work harder than you ever thought possible.
