Welcome to the rest of my life.

You've just joined me at that point in life where I'm meant to be doing important and meaningful things like getting a job and starting a career or doing cool fun things like going on holiday with just your friends or out partying till the sun comes up but I'm not doing anything like that what so ever, instead I'm spending my time just sitting on my butt either in front of a computer watching anime or something.

If I'm not sitting on my butt in front of a computer I'm sitting on my butt somewhere else playing animal crossing new leaf.

And if I'm not at home it's because I've ventured out into the real world to sit at a park or walk around town with my friends (Thank god none of them have jobs either or I'd be feeling really guilty, jealous and lazy, so at least we can be broke and depressed together.)



But unlike my friends I don't have a college course to go back too, I've just finished two years of creative media and now I'm looking for a job so now I'm unemployed.
It's not like I haven't looked for a job and to be honest if I was really completely and utterly desperate I would go work in a supermarket or something but I'm not desperate yet, thankfully I don't have any big responsibilities like bills or rent to pay or a child to feed or anything so as of now I can afford to be unemployed, I just don't want to work part time in a supermarket because I'm scared that if I do I'll never find a job a actually want and never do anything I set out to do and I will end up staying there for ever.

My dad used to work in a super market as a Teenager and I swear if we didn't move to a different town when I was 4 he would still be working there.

Another thing I don't want to do is go to university pay out thousands of pounds and do that for two or three years then when I get out of there are still no jobs and I'm forever in debt struggling to pay it off with my part time job wages, but I have decided that I will go to uni if I can't find a job by January, hopefully I'll get some replies to some of the jobs I've applied to and if I don't get the job maybe they can point me in the right direction, like telling me what kind of degree would better my chances of employment.


If I know what qualifications employers want I can just go and get those qualifications, which is got to be better than leaving college and blindly walking into a course, my functional skills teacher once said something like "they're all going into uni to get mickey mouse degrees" when talking about the other people in who were in my class, me and my friend were pretty confused by this statement.

But what I think she meant was that there are so many pointless degrees that people take because they don't know what to do and the course sounds easy.
They waste so much time and money on a degree that nobody cares about and won't help you get into work, there tons of people with lots of really good degrees and qualifications and they are struggling to get jobs.


Any way as of now I'm not at college, university or work and feeling altogether rather insignificant and useless so I would like you to join me in working out what to do with my self and seeing where I end up (and hopefully it's not retiring from my long career stacking shelves in a super market.)

Welcome to the rest of my life.
