Life post-college
An update on where I’ve been
They say post-college depression is real. I believe them.
The past few months have felt like I’ve been suspended in limbo, caught in the in-between, with my mere existence in the blank space between the written lines of my own life story.
I tried a new part-time job at a private school in Durham. That didn’t end well; I wound up quitting because I grew tired of yelling at kids all afternoon every day and having them hold little to no respect for me.
So here I am, currently unemployed more than five months past graduation.
I don’t really know where I’m going in life or what’s next. I’m just trying to brace myself to weather whatever’s coming next.
Let’s hope I’ll wind up somewhere happier and healthier over the months to come.
