Anxious About Finishing College

Student Lounge College Life
1

<p>Currently I'm finishing my junior year with BS Economics but I'm really discouraged because I didn't get into BBA in any of the business disciplines like Accounting or Marketing.</p>

<p>I have a lot of anxieties bad experience with boys, lower GPA ~3.0, learning difficulties, sadness, feeling alone, etc.</p>

<p>My biggest concerns are finding a job after graduation, getting into graduate school, meeting a significant other or having a BFF.</p>

<p>I had a fair number of interviews for jobs and internships, but rarely got hired. I feel one of the reasons is that I cut my hair super short and employers expect me to be more attractive because of my LinkedIn profile picture and name.</p>

<p>I'm so lost in life, not necessarily unmotivated, but am so overwelmed with everything about finding a job and meeting a boyfriend or best friend.</p>

<p>In addition, I feel like most people misinterpet me because o my introversion.</p>

<p>Does anyone have a similar problem? How should I cope?</p>

<p>My personal opinion is that you need to build your confidence and self-esteem. It sounds like you are blaming yourself for things that may have nothing to do with your or your appearance/shyness.</p>

<p>The economy continues to be harsh. There are only so many positions in Economics right now and unfortunately, people need to fight to get those few internships available. So, don’t assume it has to do with you personally.</p>

<p>Please make sure you are business dressed-uber conservative/professional-black or blue suit, crisp white shirt, etc. for your interviews. A little make-up. </p>

<p>The last thing you need right now is a boyfriend! Please! You’re overwhelmed NOW! You don’t need more drama; just get through your education. </p>

<p>Hold your head up high because you’ve disciplined yourself well enough that you are almost a college grad. A lot of people can’t say that.</p>
