Finished University!

I’ve finally finished university, it’s been a long hard 3 years. Though I’ve enjoyed it, I’m glad it’s finished. The stage I’m at now is a very awkward one. I’m in a zone where I’m unsure of my near future, I have no idea if I will be doing further study because of waiting for results for my degree and also applications.

This is very similar to when I finished my A levels and a situation I don’t recall positively about. Generally as a teenager everything has certainty, so you know you’re generally going to progress into next year if you do sufficiently, whereas the gap from sixth form to degree is so much different. You can do sufficiently and even go beyond recommended requirements. Even still, there is such an uncertainty as your college or university may not even accept you because of alternative reasons. I’m again in this uncertain situation where I don’t know what I will be doing. I’m relieved from the units of university and appreciate the time now that I’ve got to relax, but I’m only delaying the inevitable search for the next step. Which can be another degree, an internship or even a job. 

Though it’s not uncommon to wait a few years to do a master degree and it’s in fact even more common to do a PhD once working in the field for a while. Keeping this into consideration and not over applying for jobs/positions is also key.
