the one where i graduate college

[@mholt210]

Post-grad depression is so real! I moved back home after I graduated, and it was difficult going from having so much independence at college to living with my parents again. Talking to friends later, a lot of them went through a similar thing. No one talks about it enough!

[@maddog4u3]

I graduated at 24 after having many hardships in school. I had no friends the entire time because I was older than everyone else and didn't party because I had no interest. It was insanely hard. I graduated with no job prospects and no internships. I am still not at my dream job but I am in a job that will help me get there so it is a step. I'm 29 now. Life has no timeline.

[@emilymayfield8068]

Praying for you!

[@MichelleMcDanielJondall]

"I don't even have a pla" 😂😂 dying laughing at the Friends reference!

[@carrieagee7485]

It took me 10 years to get my degree and I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do until covid happened and now I'm going to get my masters in what I really love and have a much clearer plan for life. You go be you.

[@bellasbiz]

I just graduated high school and my post grad situation is literally the same as yours. It’s been so stressful and I’ve felt so alone. all my friends know where they’re going and what they’re doing, and I don’t. so it’s nice to hear that I’m not alone in this, thank you for being so open emily. you’ve helped me so much🤍

[@EmilyEnchanted]

we’re going to get through this together 🫶🏻

[@flowertiki4100]

Congrats, Emily! Everyone has their own path and MOST college grads feel the way you do post grad. Maybe consider applying to Disney. There are positions open all over the company on the corporate side and they certainly could use somebody with Disney experience in your degree. Give it a thought. We wish you all the best of luck!!🙂 👩‍🎓

[@jennifervelarde9294]

Congrats to you, sweet Emily! The future is yours to explore. Travel slow - travel fast - go through forests and hit dead ends with purpose, then find new paths to experience. All the best!

[@amymckenna5018]

I graduated from college May 2020 and had NO plan. It is super scary but I got a good job that I love eventually. But it’s hard to see friends start their lives when you have no direction yet. ❤️

[@hockeychick127]

This made me weirdly emotional! I've followed you since early 2019 and it's so amazing to see how far you've come since then! Congrats Emily!

[@EmilyEnchanted]

thank you so much 🥺💛

[@XxxpurplegurlxxX1]

Everyone’s journey is different! I finished one degree and now I’m doing another! Some of my friends are working full time, some are still studying we’re only 23 we can control what we do in our life which is cool! I think everyone that goes to uni (I’m Aussie) or college goes through those emotions of what’s next, you’re not alone!

[@dannyquinn9684]

I’m still not over this amazing day for you. You looked so beautiful in your grad dress! IDK what Post Graduation feels like after college but it must be really difficult. I’m happy you’re doing better now and I look forward to seeing what the future brings your way. Hope you had the best time away and welcome back. Love you Bestie!!

[@crimson_auror]

I graduated college in 2020 so my experience was ruined by miss rona. I’m glad things are pretty much back to normal. Congrats on graduating Emily!

[@jessicaa.m.harper1727]

When your degree doesn't necessarily line up with what you want to do for work, post-grad depression is even worse than normal. I majored in Fine Art, graduated, went to France with my husband (fiance at the time), got back, looked for any job within creative field for a month, and really began freaking out. I had no idea what I wanted to do for a career, and at the time, there was a lot of pressure on your career and success in your career defining you as a person. I feel like within these past couple of years, it's become mainstream to deconstruct that idea. But anyways, I jumped around for years before deciding to go back to school for dental assisting last year. It took me a long time figure things out, but it was perfect timing. Don't put too much pressure on yourself! As far as I'm concerned, you're already killing it with your KZbin channel!

[@SharkRoyale]

Congratulations!! I graduated 3 years ago, and I'm still figuring things out, still changing my mind here and there. So are a lot of my friends! Career changes are just as okay and normal (but not talked about) as major changes.

[@samanthaoakley9735]

Congratulations!!! I had a major post grad crisis lol and did the Miley Stuart summer. Best thing I ever did. Highly recommend going on a solo trip, that was my next big move post grad and it’s so rewarding to do it all yourself. So happy for you, you are amazing!!

[@EmilyEnchanted]

YES solo trip is something i’m highly considering doing… thank you so much!! 💛

[@TheSavannahSaur]

For me, when I graduated (ucf btw go knights!) I went from basing my self worth off of milestones and achievements to not really having a clear goal to work towards. I had to rebuild a new life and identity for myself outside of college. I am 2 years post grad and thriving and happy! It wasn’t any easy road but it was beautiful and adventurous. After college you have an amazing opportunity to create whatever life you desire! Enjoy ☺️

[@elansmith9291]

Ur good at putting ur emotions into words!

[@PrincessTessaFabulousLife]

Congratulations Emily

[@crimson_auror]

I graduated college in 2020 so my experience was ruined by the pandemic. I’m glad things are pretty much back to normal. Congrats on graduating Emily!

[@isabaltazar322]

Congrats, Emily!!

[@arlissgonzalez]

Not me getting emotional 🥺so proud of you!! congratulations and also I know what you feel even though I didn't go to college It hit me immediately when graduating high school 4 years ago but learning and growing and figuring things out is a part of life! Congratulations queen heres to many adventures!! Adventure is out there! Have lots of fun at greece!!!💜💖💛

[@tessagabrielle]

sisterrrr, i resonated with literally everything you said! i graduated in december and i was in the same mindset! i graduated later than my peers, i (still) have no idea what i want to do with my life, and nothing really changed other than not having homework lol the world post grad is daunting because there’s endless opportunities and you don’t know where or how to start! im glad you are feeling better though! and i am so proud of you for pushing through college and getting your degree! i know it wasn’t easy! congratulations!!

[@xCarrieex]

Girl, congratulations! 1000% feel you about everyone having their own path. My college path has been the most convoluted and confusing one. I went to community college right after high school but kept hitting dead ends with what I wanted to major in. Graduated from that school and decided I wanted to take some time off...six years later, I figured out exactly what I wanted to do which now means I'm finallyyyyy going back to finish my undergrad and then going directly into grad school. Enjoy your time in Texas! It sounds exactly like what you need right now. 💖💖💖

[@kaitlynn4441]

hi emily. i’ve been following along on your journey since you first applied for the dcp, and i just graduated college too! i’m also in a state of feeling lost in life and not knowing where to go or what to do with the degree i got. i feel like i’ve had nothing that calls to me and it’s been a struggle. thank you for being so open and sharing your experience! it really helps💗

[@enyavk]

you mentioned doing a UCF/college video awhile back! I'd still love if you did one! Starting college soon.. a lil nervy haha

[@gabbystupp4549]

Don’t worry u will be fine girl!!

[@Disgirl]

Congratulations on your graduation Emily!🎓 You should definitely be proud of all you have accomplished at such a young age & for staying true to yourself and your goals. I went through similar feelings after graduation since I did not have everything lined up or figured out the same way it seemed everyone else around me had, but it was through that time after graduation that I ended up landing my dream job. Everything happens for a reason✨

[@kathyxli24]

I love that you are loving friends! It is my favorite show ever alongside the office!

[@EmilyEnchanted]

HAHA did you catch the reference ?!

[@kathyxli24]

@@EmilyEnchanted yes and don’t worry, I’m a senior at ucf rosen this year and don’t really have a plaa- either

[@AlissaandJager]

actually that is in fact most people's post-grad experience, whether they admit it or not 😂 I'm 27 and it took me literally 4 years to get over that feeling. I think I might finally have gotten my footing after fumbling through life for the first few post-grad years

[@Karastardust]

Congrats for graduating Emily. All the best for what's next. For me since graduating high school I knew I wanted to pursue music as a future for me since it's my biggest passion since radio disney.

[@zzparis1]

CONGRATS EMILY!!! super duper proud of you GIRL, wherever life takes you i KNOW it will be amazing!! YOU inspire me sooo much!! never lose your SHINE ✨ girlyyy!!💖💖💖

If it makes you feel better, I took 4 years off and I graduated college in May already working full time in my career of choice and I still got hit by post-grade depression 🙃 you’ll be fine, I’m thinking of you ♥️

[@hannahlozano1485]

This felt like a season finale in the best way

[@hannahlozano1485]

Also in December 2017 I graduated college and I was 20 and fresh out of a break up and felt so lost and scared and you know what the first thing I did was? The Disney college program

[@ninacarrillo8380]

Congrats Emily!🎓✨Feeling the same with my college graduation coming up next year. It is so overwhelming! Let’s see what life has in store for us

[@rachelb_0369]

Aww I am so proud of you Emily!!! Congratulations 🥳🥳 I have been following your channel since the very first video, when you were getting ready for your DCP!!! It’s been so cool to see how you have grown!! You have inspired in so many ways!!! Thank you for being Emily!!! 💛💛💛

Congrats Emily! Thank you for sharing about your post-grad feelings. It was so comforting to hear someone voice the same feelings I have after graduating. Excited to see what the future holds for us!

[@elliemac4003]

[@curlyhairlove]

Omg not me crying watching this! So proud of you Emily!! ALSO post-grad depression is such a normal thing, I definitely struggled with it when I first graduated! You'll find your way and I already know your next adventure will be your best one yet! Sending you love 💛🖤

[@MissAmyTV]

Rent an apartment in Paris for 6 months and go to Disney and Versailles every day 💕

[@werew3]

Congratulations again Em! You did it though, you finished school! Honestly alot of people actually get their degree and can’t do anything with it so you’re not alone on that boat. I also took a gap year after high school and went into a 3 year program but i had to work in my field as part of my education so it was lined up. As for you, post grad depression can get you if you don’t have a plan but its okay. You have your whole life to figure it out and i hope you discover what makes you happy and go with it!

[@eric_in_florida]

Your grad pics are SOOOOO good!

[@sbarnett813]

Hi Emily! Just wanted to say congratulations to you!! We both graduated this May and do not worry about what is next. You will find your way in life ❤️ I’ve been in the same boat as you so I know it can be scary not really knowing what to do next. It’ll all work out though in the right time 😊
