Um...

So I'm panicking a little bit.

I have four months left before I have to wear a voluminous black robe and a funny hat, and some dean or another hands me a degree with my name on it.

I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with this degree. I'm taking a year off to work and pay back some of my school debts, but now I don't know if that was such a good idea. I mean, when I start applying to graduate schools, will my professors still be willing to write me letters of recommendation? Will my taking off a year look bad on my applications? Should I go to law school or continue with History? Will I even want to do either of those in a year? What if I like my job, and decide to stay, but then later regret that I didn't get my masters or doctorate? What if I end up a complete waste of air who can't contribute to society and lives forever and ever in her grandmother's house eating pretzels on the couch all day????
