I'm at that point in life where you can no longer hide behind school. First degree is coming to an end and the whole world expects you to be thinking about what career path you'll be taking soon.
The question I've been hearing more often in the recent months is, "Hujamaliza shule bado?" (You're not done with school yet?)
The follow-up is usually, "So, what do you want to do after that?"
Let's be clear. As much as I've experienced a lot of change in my life, I am still not very comfortable with it. I'm scared as hell about this new life transition. And I'm hoping and praying my fear won't make me self-sabotage.
In a bid to cope, I've decided to come up with a few little reminders to keep myself going. Some are quotes I've picked up from my friends, both fictional and real.
1. Change is inevitable. And a lot of the time, it's not too bad. So embrace it, don't fight it.
2. A lot of the time when it comes to big decisions, the right decision and the wrong one look the same. It's only when you take time to scrutinize your decision is when you see you made the right choice.
3. Be YOU.
4. If you're scared or nervous, feel scared or nervous. Then move on. Don't let your feelings make your decisions for you.
5. Breathe. It'll be okay.
6. All is well.
