I know, I know. It's as if I had dropped off the face of the earth. These past few months have been quite a ride. Most it has been spent trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing with my life. The first month was spent trying to find a job, the second was working various temp jobs, all of which were pretty much terrible, and this past month I've ( Read more... )

City life is a lot different than college life. It seems so much easier to fall beneath the millions of cracks in the city, being easily overlooked. You have to make a very concerted effort to make friends (let alone find a job). It seems ironic to me that with so many more options at your disposal, you end up a little more lonely than you were ( Read more... )

It's supposed to rain all weekend in Chicago. I'm glad that I bought my umbrella. Just in time. Although I don't know if I really want to venture outside at all. It's so dark out ( Read more... )

So things are looking up a little. I FINALLY have internet. I feel like the internet has revived my spirits. I also went to H&M, of all places, and found a really nice pin-stripe black suit for only $80.00! It fits me great and looks awesome. I know I'll feel a lot more confident during my interview tomorrow ( Read more... )

I've been in Chicago for a week now. I've been applying for jobs like a madman. I have a looming fear that nothing will come through and I'll end up broke and moving back to Michigan to freeload of my relatives and liver miserably. The other half of me is as hopeful as a sparrow. I LOVE Chicago. I know that I'm supposed to love NY in all it's glory ( Read more... )

I move to Chicago in less than two weeks. I'm both terrified and excited. I'm excited to live in a fun area and meet new people. But I don't have a job yet. I really should be worrying about it more than I am. I think that I won't really feel the need to address it until I'm actually there and jobless. It's hard to think about it here when I'm ( Read more... )

I have no job or apartment yet in Chicago. I am feeling like a loser right now. It's so hard to have faith.

I started walking with the paper over my head to protect me from the rain. It wasn't raining too hard and I didn't really care about getting wet. I was already soaked from dancing so much. But it just seemed like something you should do when it's raining outside and you happen to have a paper in your hand. When I finally got home, I reached inside ( Read more... )

I've realized that I will never be able to forgive people for having a higher socio-economic status than I did growing up. It's something that I've had to deal with so much in the last four years. Most Michigan students do NOT come from modest upbringings. And I hate them for that. Even my close friends. It's not like I used to live in extreme ( Read more... )

God Damn It. I sure know how to pick 'em. Playing hard to get BULLSHIT! Mother fucker asstard.
