Unemployment does not sit well with me.

Ever since I have been old enough to work I have almost constantly had a job, or three. So when I got fired, except I don't know if you can really get fired from being a freelancer, I didn't really know what to do with all of my free time. That was almost 2 months ago and I am still unemployed. So, I decided to start a blog, about anything and everything, to help me fill the days and take breaks from applying to companies that I'll probably never hear back from, online.


I graduated last August, almost an entire year ago, and I have held multiple odds and ends jobs since then. Nothing I've really gotten settled into or could call a "career job." I'm 22 years old and sometimes, I feel like I'm having a mid life crisis.

Unemployment has made me consider a lot of things. What's my next move? What do I want to do with my life? So far, I still don't know, but I considered what I like.

I finally came to the conclusion that I would go back to school... law school. So while I am studying for the LSATs, planning my wedding/honeymoon, looking for work and pondering how the hell I got in this position I figured I would start a blog. I also made an agreement with my awesome future SIL (that's sister-in-law) that I would start a book. But that is a slower process so I'll start here.

One thing I've learned for sure, when you are ready to graduate and the country is currently in a recession, consider double-majoring or going for your PhD. You'll save time on paying back your student loans and won't have to face the depressing job market.

Until next time,
