Slogging though the end of winter

Mar 16, 2005 16:18

I'll be 24 on Sunday. A 24 year old should not be so inactive. I still havn't found a job. Transitioning out of college is really hard. I'm trying to stay focused on my goal, but it seems so far away. No job, no money, no place of my own, no car. I miss my NP friends: Lisa Moshe and Nate. I can't believe that Adam already got married. He told me ( Read more... )

Cheer up. I heard toOo that right after college, many graduates have a hard time settling into the "real world," so don't worry it's very common. I expect to be a bum for a couple of weeks being that I'm an art major, and who gets far with that, right?

I'll prolly get an office job when I get outta here. Or maybe even grad school.

SoOo just take this as a harsh and inteesting learning experience and eventually you'll find the right path to glory.

It's true the real world is harsh. Don't put down the art major thing just yet. I'm reading a book now call "How to get any job with any major."

twenty-four isn't SO bad. so says the twenty-two year old...

jobs are a hot commodity right now, what with the economy just beginning to maybe bounce back, so i wouldn't stress TOO much if i were you.

Thanks Jackie, I get a littly crazy when I have so much pressure from my folks, my freind and myelf to get a job. I know it will happen, I just need to be persistant.

whoreinyourhead March 25 2005, 23:34:23 UTC

oh, i totally know how that feels. i'm pressuring myself to get a better job & i'm going to go nuts soon if i keep doing this to myself!

you know you're welcome to come hang out if you're feeling icky.
