I am close to half-way through my final senior year and I have several concerns. The most prominent one is what will happen after I graduate. I have applied to three graduate schools in the area and will hopefully hear back from them soon. I have applied for the Masters in Social Work program and the University of Central Florida, The University of South Florida, and Florida Gulf Coast University. I am also looking for jobs in the social work field, in case I am not able to get into a graduate program right away. Another plus to getting a job first is that they might pay for my graduate degree. I am also looking into applying for jobs at Saint Leo University, and going here for my Masters in Business. One thing i have yet to look into would be apartments to live in and how that is going to work. First I want to make sure I am going to be staying in the area. Then I will worry about the living situation. Another concern of mine is keeping in contact with the friends and my fraternity that are here. This is part of the reason that I am trying to stay in the area.

My final winter break of my undergraduate career has finally come and gone. This break was pretty similar to most of my other breaks. I started back at work for Publix a few days after I got back, so I would have money to buy all those Christmas gifts for my family. I also enjoyed being able to see my family and spend time with them without having to worry about dealing with papers, test or midterms. I did have one thing to worry about and that was my internship. I was working on setting it up before I went home but things didn’t work out as planned. Over the break I was in contact with Benet Bondi, Assistant Director of Internships, about getting my placement set up. She helped me to write my resume and to get it out to various companies. I am currently looking for an internship in a Human Resource Department. As of right now though I don’t have an internship lined up yet.
