My name is Lydia Biddle. I am currently attending Santa
Clara University. I am a junior this year, and very excited for what the
rest of this year and next year holds. I am an English major with a minor
in Music. Now, often when I tell someone of my field of study, they
always ask me, and none too politely, “What
are you going to do with that?” Though it is something that
I struggled with a lot therst few years of college, I feel generally
content in my studies. But I am in the safety of a structured life, that
is, school. I do not know what I will be doing after I graduate, and when
I let myself, it scares me. As a student, all I have known in my life
is school. I have grown accustomed to the rhythm of classes, studies,
work, and finally breaks. I pride myself in being independent, comfortable
at making my own decisions. But as a student, after the initial decision
of what to study, the rest is structured in requirements, assignments,
tests. I fear a whole new world in the near future, one without the structure
of class, and lacking the rhythm of constant school. When I let go of
all inhibition, I am terrified. What has become of my childhood? What
will become of the cozy relationship I share with my parents? Where has
the time gone?
