The key is, not letting those thoughts take over, using the fear of failure as motivation and not letting it consume you. You'll persevere and triumph, as will I. Just keep doing what you do!

In this economy, it is the reality for many people as well (believe me, I have heard those five words personally). There is no question that the fear of not being able to find a full time job is a big one for most people right now, including yourself. I think you are doing exactly what you should be doing. From previous blog posts, it is obvious that you are following your heart and dreams. In my opinion, I don't think there is any other option than to follow your dreams, especially when we are young with little responsibilities. With your situation right now, there is a best case and worst case scenario. Worst case, you will finish your internship with valuable experience and possibly have to take some time to find a similar position. Best case scenario, you find another job in Chicago, seemlessly transition and won't need to even worry about changing your address. Either way you have great experience that you will take with you anywhere else you go. I am glad to hear that you are still really enjoying your experience in Chicago and I am excited to hear the next chapter! Sydney,
