Political Geography

In our final class of the semester we went around the room & were asked what our future plans were & how political geography may potentially help us in our careers/life plans. It was astonishing to hear how few people had their lives together. Honestly, I think this day helped me in aspects of my life I was not expecting. Each day this semester, as my graduation date came closer (May), I felt as if I was drowning, a little more each day. I have no career planned out for myself, to be honest I feel as if my major will lead me nowhere (apparently this is the consensus from everyone at this school, even the teachers laugh when you say you're an international affairs student), and I feel ultimately lost. Not that I'm saying I'm depressed and don't see a point in school anymore. I actually love all of my classes (this is something I cannot say for my accounting major roommate) and I enjoy learning about the topics I choose, it seems so broad that I'm not completely dreading the future. But, hearing a majority of the class say that they have no idea what they plan on doing after graduation was almost a relief. Not that I'm hoping everyone feels as hopeless as I do! But it is nice to know I'm not alone. I do also think this Political Geography class has been broad enough, and made us talk & listen to each other enough that everyone will take something away from it. Thank you for a great semester!
