change the soil and the pot.

During the holiday weekend, my uncle decided to bestow upon me a bit of advice. He kept wanting to know what I plan on doing after I graduate. I have one more year, and quite frankly, I have been so busy lately that I haven't given it much thought.

He could tell I was nervous about what will happen after graduation, and he gave me better advice than I anticipated.

"When you get out of school, make sure you do things that make you so nervous you feel it in your stomach. If it doesn't make you nervous and excited, it's not worth it."

Then he finished up with advice one of his friends told him. His friend jumped around the job market a little bit after college.

"The only way the flower can flourish is if you change the soil and the pot constantly. Keep yourself on your toes, doing only things that keep you happy. Try new things and keep what you like."

For once, my uncle is right. Even though he spent the entire weekend finding ways to upset almost everyone in the family.

I'm pretty excited to see where I'm going to go after college. I've had some unexpected things thrown at me this year, but things are looking up.
