My name is Joshua Chen, I'm a second year journalism student at Fanshawe college and for the past couple of weeks I've been feeling a lot of anxiety about what I’m going to do after graduation. I’m not alone in feeling this way either, posts across social media, health websites, and even medical reports are calling it “post graduation depression”. But is it real?
