I had applied to graduate school and was waiting to hear answers spring of my senior year. After getting interviews, I waited and waited. I finally heard back that I didn't get it, and I panicked. I applied to all sorts of jobs, and honestly I just lucked out with finding a good one. I did phone interviews with a bunch that told me to call back when I could start working within the next three weeks if I were hired. If I were doing it again, I would slow down. The business and tech worlds (which my brothers are in) hire way in advance. Most everything else doesn't. Many other seniors are just pretending to know what they're doing and inside feeling just as lost. Take your time to think about what you're interested in. Figure out what your skill sets are. Whatever happens, you will figure it out, and there are a million and one different paths to a "happy life" or "success" or whatever your personal goal is.
