Life Moves Pretty Fast…
I am in a lot of physical pain right now. My dad thinks I have a pinched nerve or something. I called in to work today, but I’m going in for 3 hours today (Sunday). I can’t do anything except just lay down on a heating pad and think. So, here I am, laying down and all there really is to do is think. I’ve read Harry Potter and I’ve watched a movie and I ate an entire pint of ice cream. All there is left to do is think. So I’m sitting here, right? And I’m panicking about my life. I’m twenty-two years old at a dead-end job and I don’t really have any skills and I’ve very low self-confidence and I’m not sure what to do with myself or my life.
I’ve applied for four or so jobs on Monster.com and MonsterTrak. I’m thinking, okay… I can audit French this semester and maybe I can take technical writing so that I’ll develop some marketable skills so that I can get a job. And it’s not like I’m even looking for a career right now - although I’d love to know what my future career might be, if I am meant to have one someday. Really, though, I want to be able to make some money just to afford things that I want to do. I want to be able to travel and you need money to do that.
It probably doesn’t help that I’m watching movies like Reality Bites and Before Sunset. Those movies get in my head. I think I’ll put on Ferris Bueller, next.

I can really relate to where you are coming from. I graduted from university about two years ago I still don’t know whats going on. I just try and celebrate those small personal and professional victories. For the record I just turned 26.
