Fall graduation is just around the corner and seniors across campus are getting ready to leave college behind and start a new chapter in their lives. Emilie Hernandez has more in this Bobcat Update.

Graduation is always an exciting time for students. Considering Senioritis is such a widespread epidemic among Texas State seniors, it's no wonder that they can't wait to get that diploma.

"I am excited to graduate and to move on with my life. I'm going through the job, interviewing process right now, but I'm also
considering going on to graduate school"
As exciting as being a college grad is, some Bobcats are going to miss what they'll leave behind.

"I am going to miss the college atmosphere, the fun, definitely the tailgates, but, life moves on – just gotta keep pushing forward"
And pushing forward is exactly what students should do. Texas State offers a wide range of resources for students to use in order to prepare themselves for the real world. Career Services offers resume–building workshops, one-on-one meetings with career counselors and multiple internship fairs during each semester. Even with a rocky economy, there are still high chances that graduates will find a job if they prepare themselves properly.

"For graduating seniors, one of the best things I always tell people is start early…."

"Plan ahead, start thinking about it when you're a sophomore or a
junior, not when you're a senior"
So, a word of advice to all of you almost-Texas-State-grads: if you haven't already, get yourself in gear because the real world isn't going to wait for you. For Bobcat Update, I'm Emilie Hernandez.
