Endings and Beginnings

I graduated from my undergrad on May 12; I don't know how I feel about that yet because I moved home that same day. So far, this Summer has been one of starts-literal starts at work, a new job at a pest control company, preparing for new educational ventures-and one of ends-finishing my Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance, finishing my voice teaching job at school and saying goodbye to my student of one year. It still hasn't hit me yet that I will be moving to another state in August, it still feels like a normal summer to me-I still feel like a college freshman for that matter. So how do I come to terms with the fact that I'm now 22-years-old, I'm a college graduate, and I'm still not done with my education? How do I prepare for the poverty I'm about to experience? I know that I'm not ready to start my career, I need more study and practice, but when will I start? Do I finish my two years in Florida and then go directly to the professional music world or do I continue with my education and go for a teaching job instead? Do I take a year or two and do it all? Can I get away with doing my masters and then getting my cosmetologists license? Could I be a professional Alexander Technique instructor? I DON'T KNOW! And that's okay.
