Into the Wild...Let the Hunt Begin #19

Counting Down the Days.

So in exactly one week I will be walking across the university's stage in my cap and gown and donning my new masters hood. I am very excited. Everything is coming to an end so quickly that it is really hard for me to fully grasp this concept of completing graduate school. I will be 25 year old with a master of science degree. Looking back just three years ago when I was graduating with my bachelors, I did not imagine my life would turn out like this, but I am so grateful to have chosen this path.

I found my fit and I am excited to see what my first job in the field of student affairs will bring. I have changed so much during this program both professionally and personally, and I can honestly say that my life would not be as so rewarding as it is now if I had not made the choice to change my career from media to higher education. I feel like I have chosen a path that I am truly passionate about. Having passion to do what you do day in and day out is so important and I realize that as I am about to enter this new career.

One week from now I will be writing in this blog with my masters degree officially conferred. One week from now I will no longer be a graduate student. One week from now I will be a new professional. One week from now a new chapter in my life begins. (One week from now I will have to drop the subtitle of my blog: "Let the Hunt Begin")
