Saw this on time.com blog and decided to share with my blog readers. If you’re a recent graduate, you have lots of reasons to be cheerful. For a start, you have walked across stage, balancing a board on your head while wearing a trip-hazard, as ceremony demands. Degree in hand, you’re ready to embark on your post-university life. Below are 21 things you should know after graduation from high institution.
1. The real world is more
fun than grumpy adults have ever told you.
Don’t listen to people in
their 40s who act like the best part of your life ends the minute you get your
diploma. Is the real world all cotton candy and unicorn rides? No. But
sometimes, misery loves company and recruits it too. When you start a new job
there will inevitably be a group of people there who don’t like their job and
don’t like being an adult. Avoid these people like the plague. They’ve bought
into the cultural lie that a “job is just a job” and that you should only work
for the weekend. Nonsense. Your job can be meaningful. Your weekdays can
matter.
