Tell me if I'm the lone wolf here, but it was only a few days after my graduation when the #PostGraduationSadness set in. (Read: I graduated from college a week ago. Literally, one week.)
Unless you're jumping right into your next adventure, you might be feeling a little lost and overwhelmed with finding your next step. So, I've come up with a little list to focus on. The list does not end here by any means, but I guess we're on that journey together, you feel me?

1. Update your email/social media/LinkedIn.
Get rid of that fancy email signature with your laundry list of extracurriculars. That time has passed, sugar. I'd recommend making a new professional email account altogether. Do the social media cleanse- any embarrassing pictures need to go! Also update your LinkedIn if you use it to apply to jobs. If potential employers see your profile, you want to make sure your information is up to date.
2. Spruce up that résumé.
This post-grad-but-still-basically-a-student time is perfect to stop by your school's career service office. If you don't have one, take your résumé to people you trust to be professionals and ask for their input. If you need help building a résumé I recommend livecareer.com. It does cost, but I found it to be extremely helpful, and the templates are dope.
3. Be like Eminem and start cleanin' out your closet.
Get rid of anything you don't need. Less clutter makes it easier to move, if that's what you're doing. If not, less clutter is just generally less stressful.
4. TAKE A BREAK!
You've been working for a long time- take this time to not only reflect, but decompress. Take the time to refresh and reward yourself for all of your work. Get a new haircut, read your favorite book, take a vacation- whatever you do to really unwind! I like to fill my car up with a full tank of gas and drive around town blasting 90s pop. Don't knock it till you try it!
