Graduation dillemmas

One week into graduation, I suddenly feel that the whole weight is on my shoulders. Yes, I know that my Miami experience has helped me transition towards becoming more prepared to face the real world. I am more analytical, proactive and have good time management skills. I have leadership experience and soft skills that make me a valuable asset. However, I tried numerous times to apply for jobs, internships and even to MACC programs. I always have a backup plan but this time, I do not think I have one. This weekend, I have done job search online and applied for internships, jobs. Hopefully I will get a reply soon. *fingers crossed*. Although I want to work in the US, I have a feeling that things will not work out for me here. If I am just given the opportunity, I am able to demonstrate to them that I am a leader in the making. On the other hand, I have friends who chose to take up another major, prolong their studies and eventually find a job. Well, I guess if you are rich then you can pay extra tuition.
For now, I think that I am on my own, I just need a spark to light up my career and pursue the impossible. So many decisions to make and high expectations make me feel that I am carrying so much weight on my shoulders. Life can be cruel sometimes, but then you just need to persevere and look at the bright side of things. Hopefully, I will hear good news next week.
