Congratulations! You’re a new graduate and you might be asking yourself, ‘Now what?’. Graduation can be very disorientating. From a young age, all you’ve known is an academic system. You’re now having to adjust and explore life without that structure. This can leave you with a set of expectations of what you’d like to happen and some uncertainty about how things will go.
