Sometimes it is hard to believe that it is the year 2009. I remember when I used to think that the year 2000 seemed a long way into the future. I knew that the year 2005 was going to be a big one because I would be graduating high school. Now it is finally 2009- the year I will be graduating college. Gasp.
It used to feel as if my college graduation was centuries away. The past four years of college went by so much faster than high school. Surprisingly, I did much better in college than I did in high school. I have maintained a 3.0 GPA or better while working five days a week as well as holding an internship at a very popular Boston radio station. I have put in a lot of work during these years, and now I can't help but wonder about whether or not the hard work will be worth it.
In today's economy, it is going to be very hard for the college graduates of 2009 to find a job out of school. I love my internship but I do not see myself working for free past the end of the summer. In the meantime, I will have to keep my hopes high that I will have a "real job" by the fall. The search will be long and frustrating, but I am confident that my hard work will pay off.
