As a graduating senior at Bradley, I have found that the closer to my final day in school I get, the more terrified I am of it.  Lately, when it comes to talking about leaving friends behind, making final arrangements in my apartment, or simply realizing that I need to start bringing things home to make the final move-out easier, I am becoming quite the procrastinator.  However, more and more people are asking me what I will be doing when I leave and that is where the true anxiety has begun to set in...  

Over the weekend I decided to sit down and begin applying for jobs.  I updated my resume and even put together a few writing samples and projects into a digital portfolio to send in.  When I finished that, I went ahead and applied for a REAL "big girl" job! I am so nervous to hear back and I know that I will have to apply to 100 more by the end of this semester in order to have some direction when I leave school, but I feel so grown up already! :)

Its an intimidating world and with jobs being scarce, I have been trying to get creative on what I should apply to and how I should go about doing it.  But overall, I am satisfied with my progress thus far and am very optimistic about where my life could take me! Sooo....

Apply for my first real (career-oriented) job?  CHECK!!!
