Have your had "PCD" yet?

As I am departing from my college campus in a few days, I have noticed that I no longer have to sign up for silly general college classes or worry about how many credits I am going have to balance in order to graduate "on time," I have realized that my undergrad college days are now O-V-E-R! In the beginning of my second senior year (do not judge), the idea of not going back to school was ideal. Now that I am more aware that I no longer have the cushion of going to school in the fall and I have to find a job now is rather frightening.

Since we [Millennials] were in grade school, we were promised of the fabulous life because we have worked so hard through our many years of school. As we know in today's society, it is MUCH more difficult to find a job of our dreams these days; as a result, has caused many people in my generation to have Post-College Depression. (I don't know if this has an acronym, since this is my blog let's shorten Post-College Depression to "PCD.") PCD, or the quarter-life crisis, usually happens to people shortly after they graduate from college. People suffering from this [often Millennials] often feel that their life is not turning out the way they thought it might or working at jobs that do not suit them; consequently, causing large amounts of anxiety. If you have EVER felt this way (I know I have) then here are some solutions to help cope with your PCD:

1. Make sure you have an outstanding support system! In this time of need, you need people who are in your corner and reaffirming and assuring that you are the best and your dream job will come sooner than later.
2. Ease your mind! Since you have graduated and do not have to spend countless hours at coffee shops or the local library to study for pointless exams, take this time to relax or you can begin a project that you have been putting off because of your school work (I'm learning how to play the ukulele....kinda).
3. Continue to network! Do not think because you do not have a job right now, means that you have to stop networking and getting your name out there. In this downtime, you can start or continue doing information interviews with organizations or corporations in your field of interest.
4. Have a positive attitude! Although things may not being going your way at the moment, sometimes you have keep the faith and tell yourself that everything will work out. Remember, your thoughts can turn into reality so keep those thoughts positive!
5. As my good friend Rev. Jesse Jackson says:

6. Repeat steps 1 - 5
