My Mid 20s Blues.


I'm still living with my parents. I will be 25 years of age in June of this year. I have no job. At this moment, I feel as if my life is going absolutely nowhere. I have a college degree from an "elite" university here in the U.S. and really feel like it's been completely wasted since my graduation which was nearly (gasps for air) 3 years ago in May.

Since my graduation from college almost 3 years ago I feel like I've accomplished absolutely nothing career-wise. I've bounced around from non-profit job to non-profit job, barely making any money, and pretty much hating every position I've landed. I was laid-off from my shitty job starting in the New Year, and recently just quit a temp job after only 2 weeks because I couldn't stand sitting at that desk entering in ridiculous codes for some shit I give no fucks about at all.

Now, don't get me wrong people. I know things could be worse. I could not have a degree at all, be a drug addict, a prostitution-whore, or even Lindsay Lohan's drug dealer. Fuck, I could have no legs, be deaf, and have no dick!!! But, I'm proud to say that at least so far, I've avoided those career paths. And I use "so far" with great hesitation.

I guess the question I wish to ask in this post is, "Will this bullshit of a life of mine right now ever get better?" People constantly tell me that it will, and that I'll be able to look back in 5-10 years and laugh at all of these growing pains and what not. But, it really doesn't seem like that right now. I'm beginning to get a bit more of an idea of what it is I want to do, but I'm getting impatient with myself, and my current situation. I constantly shit on myself for the state of my life at the moment, and am by far my toughest critic.

This post is obviously just me ranting. I don't know if this is any type of Quarter-Life Crisis or whatever, but I'm really really hoping I can turn things around soon. Anyways, smooches to anyone who can really feel me on this. Let's pull ourselves out of this shit-hole!!!
