I am having a somewhat of a difficult time realizing, or more so accepting, that my graduation is quickly approaching. I am set to end my journey here at UNCW in December and this mere fact has caused missed feelings of excitement and anxiety. Though I have known this day would come eventually and have prepared accordingly, I still find myself feeling lost as to what my next step is going to be and I am running out of time.

I have a few options, as I'm sure most people do upon graduating. I could stay in Wilmington; however, there aren't many available jobs here. Another option would be to move home and live with my mother. This cannot happen, once you're out why go back right? I could relocate to Atalanta where there are many job opprotunities available and start fresh, or move to California where my older sister is where they may possibly be a job lined up for me following graduation. I know the solution to my 'problem' seems simple--go where there's a guaranteed job offer, which is more than likely what I will do. Though I'm excited towards the thought of moving back to California, I would mean starting almost all over yet again. I had initially hoped I would be able to stay in Wilmington for a while, where I can further develop the great relationships I have made throughout these past four years, but I need to think realistically and responsibly about my future. So like I said before, I am stuck in dilemma kind of--stay or leave? I hope something comes to me send.
