3 weeks left until I graduate and start my full time job as a software engineer.

Officially gotta start being an adult soon. Scary stuff.

Be prepared for long days and doubting your career choice in the first few weeks.

Everything you "learned" in school is most likely useless.

It gets easier after the first month or two so just hang in there.

I don't know what kind of classes you took, but one thing that I did not have a good understanding of when I started working full time was software architecture or all the various frameworks out there. We learned about MVC and that was about it. But starting out I didn't know what a REST API was, what angular js or Django were, etc.


But that's all stuff you can pick up pretty easy. So if you're education was like mine I wouldn't worry about it.
