It’s reassuring to know that others are going through similar challenges as we near the end of our university journey. For me, one of the biggest concerns is definitely navigating the job market uncertainty and finding a job that aligns with my career goals. How about you?

Balancing responsibilities is definitely the biggest one. Having 3 jobs, courseworks due, as well as responsibilities of a sports scholar? It definitely gets quite overwhelming

As a fellow graduate, I totally get where you’re coming from. For me, the job market uncertainty was a huge stressor. It’s tough out there, but we’ve got this!

I’m fairly similar I think… not knowing what I want to do as a career and feeling slightly overwhelmed at the same time by academic pressure
