Have faith, seniors
Four months remain at Waynesburg University for the class of 2015. To the seniors graduating in May, this time may seem like the end of the world. If that is true for you, just take a step back and consider a few things.
For one, it is okay to be afraid, worry about messing up, or be apprehensive over what the future holds. The key is to not let that fear control you. Even when you mess up – and you will, that is just a part of life – you will pick yourself up and find your way again. You will not have to do that on your own though, because you are not alone on this journey of life.
Just as academic advisors helped you through your four years here, there will be family and friends to give you guidance in the real world as well.
This is the time to begin doing what you want, not what others want. It is your time to take control, and hopefully, you have learned enough here to do that.
If there is one thing Waynesburg University teaches its students, it is that God will not lead you astray. He will provide for you when you step off this campus, just as He has provided for you during your time at college. However, just remember that the first step should always be to seek God’s guidance. It is easy to make decisions out of doubt and fear at this stage of life, because everything seems new and scary and too much to handle all at once. Keep trusting that God has a grand purpose for your life and follow the path He leads you to.
Graduation is a new start, not an ending. As long as you take everything you have learned – in your field and your faith – with you as you enter the world, then there is no reason to fear the future. Instead, embrace the challenges and excitement to come.
