The one thing I wished someone had told me when I started at Telfer: When I first started at Telfer, I was extremely overwhelmed as so many of my classmates seemed to have their future figured out. I felt like I was the only one who was completely unsure with what I wanted to do in the future after Telfer. Now, after having finished first year, although I have a few ideas and aspirations, I am still uncertain and know that my mind will change by the time I graduate. Every day I come up with different ideas of what I think I would want to do. I wish that someone would have told me that this is completely normal and natural when I started attending Telfer. When I discovered the Career Centre shortly after, I was relieved that there were many resources available to help students like me discover their passions and possible career options.
