I was so nervous about job stability and unemployment when I graduated from college. I decided to take a job across the country in Alaska because I thought it would help my career. It was a huge mistake, and I lost most of my friends, but I learned not to put my career first.
I became obsessed with finding a 'good' job. I realized I had made a huge mistake. The first few days of living in Alaska were exciting and fun. I felt proud of myself for taking such a big chance and was interested in learning about my field.
...I was too embarrassed by my situation to confide in my friends, who had been right all along. I rushed into my internship too soon. I was lonelier than ever, questioning whether I wanted to stay in my chosen field.
I've learned that life is so much bigger than work. While I regret the friends I've lost because of my past choices, I'm grateful that I've learned what matters now instead of years later.
