It often left me staring into nothingness when I think about my life after college. I have always dreamed of graduating on time which is proven to be a very difficult feat in the course I am taking. But sometimes, thinking about it gives me the feeling that I am not at all ready for the outside world. The feeling of incompetence strikes in.
Gone are the days when companies come grabbing students in our department for work even before they graduate. Gone is the golden age of this science. Gone are the days of the very good pioneer teacher. What awaits us who are left to crawl on what’s left of this sullen state?

I ask myself, am I good enough or deserving to be put on even the most minimal position in the industry? I couldn’t answer. I have yet to learn a year from now. It sucks when you hear that some mentors get in the way of students’ ambitions. It feels awful ending a subject learning almost nil from it. Most of all, it feels embarrassing being put side by side with students from other schools and they think you know a lot when in fact you don’t.
I hear a comment from another department’s teacher that we from our department are not on in the fight anymore. We are losers that sometimes win. Nevertheless, losers? I don’t call us that. I still have the superiority complex hanging on my sleeve; about to fall, of course.
So what do I do? What do we do? We try hard on our own. We seek what we cannot find in our own zones. We try hard to become visible. Make ourselves competent for short. The game is on. It will be for a lifetime. When your parents at school go neglect you, be your own parent. The challenge is on.

Bryan,
You are experiencing a natural anxiety about crossing over one of life's first major thresholds. There are others like true love, heartbreak, marriage, the birth of your first child, raising a family, health challenges, financial challenges, death in the family, etc. etc, etc. It is a given that you will be faced with these things and like any other skill you lear, you will learn how to cope and succeed in these times as well.
Do not approach these passages with a defeatist mindset:
defeatist |di?f?tist|
noun
a person who expects or is excessively ready to accept failure.
adjective
demonstrating expectation or acceptance of failure
There is an appropriate quote here:
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. -Henry Ford
My saying is, Stop focusing on what you are not able to do and focus instead on what you are able to do. Find your passion.
The way I try to live my life:
What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. -Unknown
Bryan, know that you are facing a portal in life, know that you will pass through that portal one way or another, and decide to pass through the portal confidently while forgiving yourself for any shortcomings.
Be well

Emo! hahaha..
Dude. If such speculations take place, you have two other options: Go freelance; or Fuck your life and the decisions you made. haha just joking about the second one. Freelancers make more money than those who work in firms plus freelancers work in flextime (more than that, sort of).

Yay! This is a breakthrough post from your usual internet marketing articles…
Kabalo ka bry, you are actually more than competent! I just don't know sa nursing field ha, pero in almost everything, you'll notice that not everyone is as good as you (we) actually. which makes us proud for ourselves sometimes. Each of us is unique, and in one way or another, there is always something worth that we could contribute.
