This is my last semester in Stony and the thought of finishing school has never been greater than now. While I can’t wait to get out and enjoy the vast amount of freedom that is in stored afterwards, in the back of my mind I’m a bit worried about what my life would be. I have to eventually get out of this vacation bubble and float back down to reality… The prospect of entering into the real world is a bit daunting. I’m used to doing the things I like but in many cases to go out and have fun as well as other kinds of household expenses, you need money – the moolah!
There’s a part of me that says I need to do it but the other side just wants to hide under the covers and never wanting to wake up. In truth, I’m a bit nervous; no I take that back, very nervous about looking for work. I have tried to apply for jobs for the past few years and it wasn’t successful at all. I go through the whole process of filling out the general information and filling out that dreadful “15 minute survey”, which in reality takes 30 minutes at the end of the online application. Afterwards I either get an email response that says sorry but we feel you aren’t qualified for this position or no reply at all. I feel like luck has turned against me and it doesn’t help when I will be competing against an older generation along with the students graduating this year.
#1 Goal - definitely don’t want to become a bum in my own house – that just gives me the shivers. I need to suck it up and kick down the front door and show the world who I am and what I am capable of. Have to be give myself a more positive outlook and look past all the rejections that I had received before. I will get a job even if I have to physically fight for it.
