I'm in sort of an interesting spot this year. As a double major in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies and English, potential career paths were hard to pin down. I'm currently a senior, and a great class I took on women's health last year inspired me to follow the path I've now chosen. Instead of going into social work, or working for an NGO, I've decided to go to nursing school after graduation, and am really excited about it. I see nursing as a concrete way to make change and do something interesting.

It took quite a bit of last-minute planning for me to ge to the point that nursing school is a reality. I had to juggle around classes, drop a thesis project, and take summer school, but I'm really doing it, and am so happy I took that leap.

My advice for people who have no clue about what they want to do after graduation is to deeply explore your interests: take classes that inspire you, do research on things you're excited about, and think outside of the box. We're still young-we have decades in which to change careers, change mindsets, and start over. It is never too late to try something new. If you don't know what you're interested in this point, come into the career center and take a self-assessment or two. Strengths Quest and Strong Interest Inventory are great places to start.

Good luck in your own search!
