Many of us spend our childhoods confidently answering the question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” When we respond, we do so unconstrained and driven by passion. We typically answer with creative or bold responses. Funny thing is, once we “grow up,” that confidence and boldness typically fades. Now that you have your diploma in hand, it’s time to take action. But how should you approach your transition from student to professional? Context by: Edvin Larsson --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unibiscuits/message

The major difference between our dreams and reality: dreams don’t compromise. They can be as seamless and outrageously unrealistic as we desire, whereas reality speaks for itself – although it doesn’t always have to be a world apart from our dreams – we are much more likely to experience some hiccups along the way. We can all be guilty of looking for fault where there is none. Sometimes things seem too good to be true, but there are other times when things are exactly what they seem.
