Goal For It

I sat down to have a conversation with my friend Naif Mazzawi about post-grad life, which is something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently as I approach graduation. Naif is a few years post-grad, therefore he’s already navigated that transition to life after graduation. He’s one of those people who's not afraid to take risks and explore new interests, so there's definitely a lot to take away from his outlook on life. Listen as he talks about his experience picking up everything and moving to Chicago, meeting new people in the city, and what it’s been like living alone during the pandemic. He also shares some helpful advice for overcoming the fear of trying new things, making time for your passions while working full-time, and navigating career transitions!

I completely understand the immense pressure of feeling like you have to have your life figured out. In this episode, I'm here to tell you it's okay not to know. You WILL figure out what college you are meant to go to, what job best suits your talents, and the list goes on. Listen as I tell some humorous and somewhat extreme stories of me not knowing what I was doing in Greece during my spring break while studying abroad. I hope these examples help illustrate that it's okay not to have everything figured out at all times.
