Curate, connect, and discover
Upon realizing that I’m less than a year (hopefully...) from graduating with two degrees, as well as noting that there’s only a six month grace period between graduation and loan repayment—and therefore, only six months to find a full-time job, hopefully in one’s field...
...I recalled how my high school graduation went, and how I didn’t cry the expected tears of joy, but tears of agony, because life wasn’t going to get any better (and unfortunately, it kind of went as expected.)
I honestly don’t fathom that undergraduate graduation is going to be much better, so I ended up making an illustration about the stress before, and the future stress that looms overhead...and how no ceremony can make either of those things go away.
