Completion (Week 13)
This
week, I do not know if it was by mere coincidence or planned by who knows who,
was filled with nothing but questions about my plans to what I would do after graduation.
Earlier this week, I had this conversation with my mother, wherein she asked me about my plans after graduation. “Where would you look for job after this?” she asked. I said, “Maybe I should go and teach Accounting for a while or something, if it permits me to.” The question was actually left unanswered, because I know what she wanted to hear. She wanted me to pursue a job in the company where my father worked in. It was not a bad thing to consider, however, I already talked to the HR Recruiter, and she told me that there aren’t openings for people in my major. If I were to work there, I would be in the production department, which was something that I am thinking twice about. First, it was not in my field to work in, and second, feelings involved, that was not the first job I would like to have. The next day, or maybe two days after that, our department head, along with two product costing executives asked me about my plans after graduation. Just like my mom, I did not gave them an answer. What I told them was the plan that my mother and father wanted me to pursue. Just yesterday, the candidates for graduation, me included, attended a meeting in LPU-L with regards the preparations for graduation. Everything was discussed there and despite the excitement, I felt nervous. I felt afraid, am I really graduating? Am I really going to leave to permanently and head to working right away? Is there no other way to slow this down?

I
know that when something ends, another thing starts, that is how life goes.
Life is an endless cycle of entrances and graduations. We may be at the start
of being so hype over the fact that we are candidates in graduation, or we may
be having problems with laying out a full-blown plan with acing the journal
article, or we may not start panicking with how we can end our internship fast,
but all of these have their endings. Hard as they sound, are we ready to face
its ending? Are we ready to really graduate and hand our resumes over
companies, and once hired, are we really ready to earn our money, and live like
an adult that we should be?
Honestly,
this internship had gotten me in the phase where I do not know what I really
wanted in life after the academe. I saw what it was to work in the field I
signed up in, and man it was hard. I saw how it works in other departments, and
I admittedly find it inviting to work in. I heard stories of people working in
other fields, or those who continued studying to get double degrees, and I am
not crossing that out my options. I wanted to work on my passion, or attain my
goals in a span of two years, but where would I start? Would graduating really
be the solution to all of this? HAHA! It’s not like I do not want to graduate,
trust me, as far as I can remember, I am dying to get my diploma and work. But
with so many choices that are just a step away from my reach (and capabilities,
hopefully), which one do I choose? I cannot possibly choose them all, because I
am no superhero, and as a normal human being I am honestly a procrastinator.
Which would possibly the best choice for me?
For
now, I guess graduating is my best option.
