Goodbye Southern Utah University and hello world. . .of the unemployed. It's funny how quickly one can go from being too busy for his own good to the position of when having to choose what to eat for lunch is one of the biggest decisions of the day. I moved home on Saturday and now sit in front of my computer screen looking for jobs, e-mailing people asking for opportunities and wondering what will happen if a couple months from now I still don't have a job. Ok, so maybe I worry too much. I'm sure that I will find a job, I just don't want it to be cleaning graffiti off the side of buildings downtown. I mean, isn't that why I received a college degree in the first place, so that I could get a better job than that? My mom says I should just accept whatever comes my way as it may only be for a short time. She has a point, but if I wasn't planning on continuing my education in law school, it would be hard to realize that after four years of school, a job at Wal-Mart which doesn't even require a degree, is one that I consider applying for. A little frustrating? Yes. Do I regret my time at SUU? Not one bit. It was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. The people I met there have become my closest friends and confidants. I learned about who I really am at SUU and picked up some valuable life lessons along the way. Go T-Birds!
is it stupid that this made me a little emotional?? WE WERE FRESHMEN LIKE YESTERDAY. oh geez.
ReplyDeleteand...i spent the first month after graduation doing exactly what you're doing, and i also watched every season of Lost on DVD. i also think i cried periodically and ranted about the job market. That transition really is the biggest shock...i'm glad you're going back to school eventually!
the most i can say is....nothing lasts forever, and in the meantime, it's okay to vent. Be sure to stay out too late every now and again getting slushies or whatever so still FEEL young!
