have you ever just woken up one morning

[flammablepony]

and realized this cannot be your life? I am so unsatisfied with the way things are. I make shit at my job and it's not challenging for me. I'm not fulfilling my potential and it frustrates me so much because there is nothing I can do about it. No one is hiring. You have to know someone to get a job these days. And no one I know, knows about any

Graduated from Berkeley with an English degree in Dec. Most useless degree ever. I feel like looking at job ads I'm either under or over qualified for everything. I'm too anxious and depressed so far to actually apply for jobs that I know hundreds of people who are better qualified are probably applying for. I'm working part time at my on campus job, but it doesn't pay the rent, so my bf is pretty much taking care of what I can't afford (and I feel pretty guilty about it and it's causing a lot of tension between us). Bleh.
I tried to apply for grad school but my gpa is too low, so I have to take more classes and raise my gpa before I can apply again. And I am REALLY tired of being in school. So that won't happen for awhile.
I do my best to ignore this stuff and have a good time anyway though :)

Sorry to be nosy but I have almost the exact same situation as you so I feel your pain! I'm graduating from Berkeley with a Linguistics degree and I can't find any jobs that I seem even remotely appropriate for and it makes me anxious. Plus my boyfriend is an engineer and an insanely good student so he actually managed to land a decent-paying job and while he's not taking care of my expenses yet (parents are doing that...) I worry that that might be where it's going, and like you I'm also sick of school and not looking forward to jumping back into grad school X_x Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone and I wish you the best of luck =)

Both you ladies are so awesome and I love you both and thank you for keeping it positive and everything will be ok!

Yeah, if I didn't try to keep happy and somewhat sane I wouldn't get anything done at all hehe.

I have no job.. just keep hoping people will purchase my stuff on etsy. uhm..
So be happy to at least have a job?
The rest of my school loan ran out, my parents have no money to lend me, and I've got no way to pay my April bills which are all due on/around my 25th birthday. D:
But I know people in a much worse of a predicament than I, so complaining about it much doesn't seem right.

Aaah but you just texted me and said you got a booth at AX and you will be making bajillions of dollars because your stuff is so CUTE.
