Praise the Lord that your family today is in a much better place today.
I can relate to your feelings about graduating and not feeling ready. I will say that stepping into the world as a working professional has a couple things in common with becoming a parent for the first time, no matter how much you study or try and prepare, life is going to put you in situations you don't feel adequate (and this is also how G** refines our faith in 1st or 2nd Peter), so don't fret too much. Hopefully you will have supportive colleagues (and a supportive boss as that makes a world of difference)
I agree with you about the guy you are interested in. If your friends continue to push you, it's alright to ask them to help you (if you feel that way). Just be cautious if this stays the same for a while, because the guy could be telling others you are a couple because he assumes you wouldn't keep hanging out if you weren't.
Hope the job you are starting soon goes well. It's going to be a great (and a little intimidating) opportunity to get out of your comfort zone
