Wondering if you missed your moment.
WONDERING IF YOU MISSED YOUR MOMENT.
Follow for more honest conversations about life after the lecture hall.
Remember the electric hum of campus? The late-night study sessions, the intellectual sparring, the unspoken promise that your prestigious education was a golden ticket to a flawlessly mapped future. We launched into the world, armed with ambition and a revered degree. Then came the "weird transition" nobody explicitly warned us about.
Suddenly, the highly curated, intensely competitive bubble of our alma mater gave way to a reality far less predictable. You see your Ivy friends seemingly glide into those highly coveted, traditional dream roles, while your own journey might be taking a less conventional, perhaps even "non-Ivy" path. Or maybe you’re simply wrestling with what comes next, feeling the subtle disconnect between expectation and everyday reality.
That quiet, persistent whisper begins: Did I miss something? Did I not leverage every connection, every opportunity? Am I truly living up to the potential our education implied? This unsettling feeling of wondering if you "missed your moment" is a surprisingly common, yet often unspoken, struggle. It's okay to admit that the post-grad path isn't always the straightforward ascent we imagined. Your journey is valid, even if it diverges. Let's share our stories.
