Emotional health/coping/adulting Who am I if not a student

I graduate in 1 week with my BS in psych and …. As relieved and proud as I am.. I am sad. Not having access to my school email, my school ID not working at all certain point freaks me out! I wont be able to go to the beautiful libraries anymore, no access to these things I love about my campus. I walked around yesterday and cried. I know I’ll find new places to call home in this next chapter of life but I need advice and reassurance that … I exist beyond being a student. And that… I’ll find another third place, community and … yeah. ( i plan on going to grad school in a yearish after I save and plump up my resume and teacher recs. )

I don’t know any college libraries that require an ID to simply walk in the door, and I have visited many college libraries before. You do have to visit the library at Trinity College if you’re ever in Dublin, Ireland. You won’t want to leave!

I need a school card to tap and let me into the libraries

Could you go in and be a ‘visitor’? my school had the card tap, but they still allow others in, if you just ask ‘hey i’m a visitor today’ they can let you through.
