The Next Chapter: Navigating Life After Graduation

in #hive-153850last month

It is a few days until my last examination, the day I will sign out, and a lot has been going on in my mind. First, preparation for exams and my final year project have taken me away from writing on Hive, and each day, it gets harder to write and share my thoughts here. I find it difficult that most times I will want to write, but I do not know what to write. It is so much unlike before, when I could come in here to talk about anything and everything.

That aside, I have been thinking and asking myself the question—what next? What comes next after I become a graduate? What do I want to focus on? What do I want for my life? What will be my next step of action? Will I stay around for a while or go back home—which is something I do not want to do.

I have always said that school has been a primary distraction from things that I really want to do. Skills that I really want to learn, and now I will have a different lifestyle from the one I have been living for the past 8 years—one without school in the picture.

Now that I will be done with school, and probably after finishing everything concerning the school project, it will be the best time for me to come back active on Hive. For some years, Hive has been my primary source of income, and I have survived living the lifestyle I am living—one with comfort and stability. It will be so unwise of me to become so less active without having a better source of income that can contribute to Hive, my growth on Hive, financially since I may not be able to do that actively.

There are a lot of skills that I have half-baked that will need fine polishing and some that I may need to drop for others. I believe after school will provide a time for thoughtful awareness and visualisation. To walk and draft the next few months and years of my life, asking myself what I really want and making sure every day action contributes to doing so.

I feel the next year of my life should be spent grinding and polishing. This may probably make me want to go to my cave and be less active online but looking at the fact that most of my grinding and polishing will require me to work on not just my tech skill but also my content creation, I will need to have a good moderation of my online presence and time fixed on learning and self-development.

By God's grace, All will be well. Thanks for reading.

What next?
I think you should breathe first and take it easy. You'll have a lot of time which I'm sure you'll manage well and figure things out slowly. All the best with your papers 🤍

All the best with your papers 🤍

Thanks so much. Okay I will take the advice to breathe first and take things slowly.

I really wish you well in the next chapter of your life and good luck in your final exams.

Hoping to read more of you.

This "what next" question!
I feel it's one of the biggest unavoidable questions we all are asking right now.
Except people that maybe have it all sorted out(hardly anyone does tbh).

All will be well as you've said💚

Yeah true. Hardly anyone may already have it all sorted out. Although some are better off than some others.

Wow..clear road for the latest fresh graduate is about to emerge 😃
I wish you all the best in ur remaining last papers
This reflection and questions are common for someone in the stage you are in life

I really hope that God will give u a clear direction after school

It will be nice to see you as a whale on hive someday..I know u have that in ur mind
Take care boss

Becoming a whale of Hive is possible. And I know with God, that can be a reality.

Thanks so much Nkem. I really appreciate your support.

Hehe, both of us are in the same boat now. I finished my graduation last month (the result is yet to be published). But in my case, I am not so worried because I believe that I will be able to cope up with the upcoming situations also.

hmm truly, we are on the same boat, but I think you are already on the boat, and I am about to enter it. Yeah, I will carry that sense of believe too, believe in myself and in my father in heaven to guide me through.

few month difference is not so significant. So you are not so far to catch me. Who knows if both of us start our job career at the same time?

Oh boy. I was here sometime last year. You'll figure it out, man.

I do hope that you actually get to come back to Hive after school. Life after school sometimes can be unpredictably more demanding than in school, so you might be surprised. Over all though, you get more free time, the new difficulty will just be about managing it, and deciding what to invest this new found free time in. But I think you'll do great, and I'm looking forward to all the awesome things you'll do here and out there after this journey. Goodluck, man.

You'll figure it out, man.

Hopefully I will.

I believe this is true. Knowing where to invest the time and balancing it out.

Oh man! thank you so much for the nice words. I really appreciate it.

Bro is leaving school life sooner than I ever imagined. School take more of our time for personal development than it ought to.

What's next ?

Keep ruminating on that question, answers will come soon and you'd find out the next thing after the next and so on. You might even need to write out 5-10 things you're looking forward to immediately after school....might help.

By God's Grace, I trust you will get everything right on time. I believe your hardworking, high spirit and goal oriented self will remain unbreakable after school.

Hoping to see you thrive even more bro!!

School take more of our time for personal development than it ought to.

Yeah, there are some truths to this, and at the same time, I have seen people who have learnt to balance that time. Those guys are daredevils.

Yeah, I usually do this, but now I am thinking of taking a different approach before coming back to this.

I believe your hardworking, high spirit and goal oriented self will remain unbreakable after school.

By God's grace. God will guide me through.
