Is this really my LAST semester? I mean who knows what could happen between now and June. Will I really finish my degree by then? What if I fail a course, or what if I\u2019ve overlooked a credit, or what if there\u2019s a glitch in the system? I guess I could always do another summer course. I\u2019m going to go check Degree Explorer<\/a> again.\r\n\r\n\"woe<\/a>Woe #2: Money<\/strong>\r\nWhoa, is that really how much my student loans are for all 4 years? And that\u2019s without<\/em> interest? And what about all those OSAP changes<\/a>? Looks like I gotta maximize on all the free stuff on campus while I still can. Gonna miss all those free pancakes and drop-in fitness classes.\r\n

\"woe<\/a>Woe #3: Work<\/strong>\r\nWhoa, do I have to start looking for jobs now? What kind of job do I even want? Can I find anything good with my experience (or lack thereof)? And what about grad school? I have some programs in mind. Can I even get into grad school? Maybe I\u2019ll just explore what else is out there. It'd be good to pay off these student loans first. Now, how do I find a job<\/a>?\"woe<\/a>Woe #4: The Future in general<\/strong>\r\nWhoa, what\u2019s really going to happen next? Does anything really change, other than getting a degree and becoming an alumni<\/a>? Well, I guess I won\u2019t be in school next September. When was the last time that happened? Oh yeah, 17 years ago. Whoa.<\/p>\r\nHow do you even meet people outside of school or work? Will I never have to write an exam again? That actually doesn\u2019t sound so bad.\r\n\r\nWhoa, where am I going to live? Can I afford to stay in the city? Or maybe go abroad? I guess I could always move back home.\r\n\r\nI wonder what it\u2019ll be like 17 years from now. Will I be satisfied in my career? Will robots and AI take over? Will I go back to school? Will I look back on this moment in time, and think \u201cwhat was I so worried about?\u201d I guess I'll have different woes by then.\r\n\r\nGraduating soon, or just thinking about it? What are some of your woes about graduating?<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
