For many, this week has marked the end of exams. For some, as for me, this week has also marked the end of our degrees. The last 3-4 years have been spent working tirelessly towards graduating; but, somehow, it all feels a little anticlimactic. Whether it’s the online exam format that means the majority of this year’s graduand cohort are finishing degrees on an ordinary Friday in their bedrooms, the sudden weight of graduate job expectations, or a lack of certainty for the future, I think it’s safe to say that finishing a degree can leave you feeling a bit lost. After all, most of us have always had the certainty of another year of education, so the prospect of going out into the real world is a feeling that few of us have ever had to reckon with. All things considered, that panic master’s really is looking quite tempting.
