making lists to feel accomplished
20 June 2009
things to do after graduating:
- find a job apply to programs to delay finding a job
- programs that lead you to think you’re making a difference in the world in a year or two, like ending poverty and global warming
- study for and take the GRE
- if feeling particularly masochistic, study for the GMAT as well
- get recommendations
- figure out course of action for fulbright
- participate in NaNoWriMo
- think of clever ways to avoid finding a job yet appear productive and goal-fulfilling
- travel while making dough/making a difference: two hefty goals for a uofc graduate, but we’re trained to have high aspirations that amount to nothing and lead us straight back to academia
