Amanda Rizza is a senior at the University of Connecticut majoring in Communication and minoring in Psychological Sciences. Amanda Rizza says Amanda Rizza is also feeling the anxiety of finding a job, but is trying to focus on the big picture. It is one thing to be a senior stressed about finding a job, but it is a whole other situation trying to begin a post-graduate career during a pandemic to this magnitude, dealing with this while also balancing online academics and a part-time student job that I was able to continue remotely, is a daily challenge. I am grateful to be able to continue my academics and current job through the University of Connecticut, but the future is quite unknown for students who are in the same boat as me. It is stressful and anxiety-provoking, but all we can do is take one day at a time.
