Scared to Leave College??
I'm almost a graduate. I technically completed everything in Winter term but my commencement is in Spring so I have to wait until then. It feels really weird not being a student anymore. I was (poorly) homeschooled (long story, tw), so I didn't really receive formal education since then until community college. I am so proud of myself for being the first person in my family to go to college and just for myself for getting past all of my homeschooling struggles like getting the GED since I didn't have a diploma.. but it's weird. I built up my identity as a student and while I intend to go back for a bachelor's/master's, I need to take a break after this associate's degree to volunteer/work on social anxiety/agoraphobia exposure more since I did take a lot of internet classes, mostly due to COVID restrictions though (also, tuition is expensive and I'm still not used to working). I'm not really sure what I need or need to hear? I just feel a bit lost and grieving at the moment.
