The future. It is a daunting topic of conversation, especially for Middlebury students who can measure their remaining time at the College in months. The seniors holding this paper in the dining halls right now have just started sweating at the thought what happens in June 2008. Middlebury seniors already face a tremendous amount of pressure completing theses, final theatre performances or lab work. Perhaps the most daunting aspect of "the job search" is the uncertainty. Unlike a college homework assignment, in the job search, long hours of researching, phone calling, etiquette classes and networking may still result in failure.
And a caution to underclassmen - "the future" is a horrible monster that needs to be quelled at every turn of your college career. However, there are plenty of "ships" to catch - internship, fellowship and leadership - while floating through your years in this bucolic paradise and can fast track your "future."
But on top of all that, everyone is telling you "do what you want!" and "do what you are!" When is there time to soul search? What the heck are you going to do? The first step is to relax.
