Hello there,
I'm scared. No, I'm terrified of the future.
It's close to the end of my second year here in singapore polytechnic and I'm into the final year. I feel like time's going too fast. It felt like yesterday when I was sitting at the auditorium during orientation week, feeling all lonely and shy. Now, I'm halfway there to completing my diploma.

Honestly speaking, I am really afraid of the future. Like what I'm supposed to do after successfully graduating? Do I start my working life, just like most of the fresh graduates? Or do I continue pursuing higher education? I'm not a guy, so I don't have the luxury of taking two years off to rethink my career and education path. Should I take driving lessons? Should I embark on trips, discovering the world and its beauty?

I had this conversation with a friend of mine two days back and we were talking about what we should do after graduating. The topic never really left my thoughts after that day. He told me about his plans and while I was listening to him share his plans, it really made me happy that he has thought about life after poly. Me? I never really draw out any blueprints for life after poly. I just figured if my gpa could bring me into a university, then I should continue studying. If not, I'll just study something extra, maybe something that I've always been interested about. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who have yet to think about life after tertiary education, right?
