I am in my last semester as an ungrad and I have been so anxious with all the graduate school prep and applications. And the looming date of having to find a job or internship or something to move forward. My anxiety is no debilitating but it does make me awkward in some social situations especially NEW ones where I know no one. The job I have now I got because I knew someone who worked there. I have been there for two years now. I have been so nervous about failing in the search for a career after graduation or internship to do while in graduate school. I am now more optimistic because instead of setting my expectations so high. I decided I would start small and just volunteer in a related field in order to gain experience without the anxiety of not being accepted. Moving in a positive direction. I have the volunteer orientation on Wednesday :-)
