This post is part three in our three part series on the #SAGrad search for #CSAM18. Check out our previous installments here. I am a second year graduate student in the Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) Master’s Program at the University of Vermont (UVM). I identify as a queer, gender non-conforming black femme. Along with my enrollment as a graduate student, I hold a graduate assistantship in the Department of Residential Life as an Assistant Residence Director.

If you’re reading this, you are imaginably in the same boat as me: currently working on a master’s degree in some aspect of higher education, expecting to finish soon but have no inkling as to how to begin your journey to your dream student affairs (SA) job. This describes my situation in a nutshell. I will be graduating in May 2019 and have started preliminary thinking about my job search, causing my mind to now run at the speed of light.

If you’re looking for a classic student affairs story, keep looking. Highly involved undergrad with lots of school spirit and more extracurriculars than classes? For sure! But the part where I realize that all that undergraduate involvement could actually lend itself to a career path that matches my passions and personality? That comes later. My student affairs story is really more of a student affairs journey full of shifting dreams and heart to hearts with myself on what I really wanted.

We’ve all been guilty of those moments of panic where we aren’t quite sure what we should be doing with our lives. Insert me… a 25 year old ex-college athlete trying to discover who she is and what she wants to do with the rest of her life. They say to take the road less traveled and that is certainly what happened with me. Growing up, I always had this plan that I would go to college and play soccer, become an athletic trainer, get a dog, have a family and so on and so forth.
