I’m about to complete my 12 month internship in July 1st, so I’ll become an official college graduate by then + also I’ll become officially jobless, which is captivatingly scary. So I’m currently trynna explore my options for my next step. My ideal plan would be to get a job this year and work for a year to gain experience and then get my Masters degree after. So I’m currently preparing for my job search + preparing for a Masters program concurrently. My plan is: If I get accepted into a masters program I’ll push the acceptance offer to next year and I’ll keep looking for a job this year.  My rationale behind this is that I want have my Masters acceptance as something to make me feel safe that even if I don’t get a job this whole year I’ll be comfortable with knowing that I’ll have something to do by next year that’ll hopefully increase my chances of getting a job.

My internship is from 8am to 5pm and it’s very exhausting. So everytime I come home from my internship I feel like my energy is drained from work + my anxiety about my future starts to hit me so hard, so the combination of these makes me so unproductive. 


Do you have any tips/pep talks about being less anxious about my future + do you recommend any communities/subreddits for fresh graduates job struggles/anxiety &amp; communities/subreddits for productivity motivation
