Overwhelmed? Me too :)

So, I was thinking this morning about the job search. Yikes. It definitely makes me a little nervous. How will I find a job? How many resumes will I have to send out before I get an interview? Will I find the right job in the right city? So many questions seem to be flying around in my head, and I'm trying to keep telling myself that it will all come together the way it's supposed to - I just hope me and God are on the same page! I started thinking about how the job search and the college search carry some of the same questions with them. I'm sure right now you're wondering which college will be right for you, how you will know which one you're supposed to go to and whether or not you're going to be happy and successful there. I know that just like I see thousands of job postings on websites, you see thousands of schools out there - all look weirdly similar, but very unique at the same time. My advice, though, would be that somehow one of those schools will stand out to you. Whether they have the right community, are just the right size, offer the best classes for your major, etc., something will make a school pop out from the rest (I hope this happens with my job search too!). I remember being in the place where I had no idea which school was right for me. I had thought for a long time that I would end up at Bluffton, but was that what I wanted, or what my family wanted for me? I made the decision for myself that Bluffton was right for me, and that will happen for you too. The college search can be very overwhelming, but trust me in saying that your decision will come with time. You'll know where you're supposed to go and I hope that you'll be as happy wherever you choose as I have been at Bluffton. I hope you do come and visit Bluffton, though, because I have a feeling you see that spark here (i might be a little biased, but oh well!).
Hang in there - it'll all come together.

Here's to big decisions,
Mary
