Logically?
You know, when you go at it with logic there's really no debate to be had -- I must graduate this coming January in order to avoid piling on another semester's worth of debt from this place. But when you go at it emotionally, as I have been prone to do, things get more complicated.
These past three years have flown by. Do you remember points in high school when it seemed we would never graduate? Well now I'm trying to hold onto the unraveling threads of my life in college for fear that once graduation arrives I have to stop talking about what I'll be doing after I graduate and actually start doing it.
The terror of having act can be paralyzing, can't it?
And here's another issue: I'm ready to get out of here. I'm ready to be done with elements of college that continually kick me in the groin, but I'm hesitant to leave because the next logical move is not laid out for me. Everything I have done to this point has largely been to reach the college graduation goal, and once I get past that I need to find a new endpoint. This one was preordained; I didn't even have to think about it. After this, though, I've got to get a bit more creative. That's frightening.
