Grad school

Recently the immediacy of grad school has come to my attention. I think in some strange way, I never could picture myself there.
After some calculations, I have discovered that I am a cool 24 credits away from graduation after the spring semester.

Naturally, this raised the question: What to do after undergrad?

I am excited about the prospect of graduate school and actually learning how to be a counselor (I hear they don't teach that in undergrad) However, it is a daunting next step to some degree. In many ways, I have absolutely no concept of what grad school requires. I doubt this is uncommon for most students who have yet to experience it but as you can tell, it leaves a lot to the imagination. A lot of pondering.

A friend of mine recently got accepted into the psychology graduate program at Mizzou. So I'm thankful she is willing to lend any advice/support/knowledge about the process towards grad school. She is definitely more than qualified!
Right now, I'd say Missouri Baptist or UMSL are the top two schools I am considering. I want to stay in St.Louis.
Nothing is set in stone by any means but I am excited for the next steps!
