But how many people know how to cope with the transition from school to the "real world" or to work? I'm freaking terrified, no doubt about it. I've been in school non-stop since preschool, and I've been in post secondary for six years of university and a year of college and I'm coming up to graduation in under a month.

TERRIFIED. Well, unless I flunk the internship/placement or the final class that is the debriefing section of the placement. But those would be hard to flunk, unless I deliberately sabotage myself (which I've been prone to do, hence why university took six years...)

I'm doing really well in college. Stupendously well. But I don't know the first thing about "life skills" for the "real world". Don't remember being taught any either - okay, that's a lie. I'm sure that others have gone through similar emotions, just thought I'd ask if anyone can relate and has any advice.

Oh, and advice on how to make an awesome resume for class would also be nice. I've got lots of volunteer experience, little work experience.... and I don't even know WHAT to call my internship - what sort of title/section of a resume does that fall under, if it's unpaid??
