Dear A,
It's been a little over a year since I graduated from college and you'd think I'd have this down by now, but surprisingly I don't. And even more surprisingly there isn't a handbook or survival guide on "what to do when (insert bizarre situation or occurrence)..." Shocking, I know, but the list is quite endless, I assure you.
So I've decided that there must be others out there in the same age bracket questioning what to do and asking why no one warned us about the sudden after shock of being in the real world.
For example:
-OMG! This career thing is actually harder than it looks. How to find the best fit? And is it really the right place for you to be?
-De-zombiefy: Coming home from work and doing something other than staring at the ceiling.
-Making new friends in new cities, it's harder than it looks.
-The case of the disappearing paycheck and how it's already gone before it arrives in your bank account.
I'm going to start trying to work through this and become better equipped, because college really screwed me on not offering a class in "The Real World and How to Survive 101" And I want to share my thoughts and progression as time goes by, because maybe one day this might be helpful to those up and coming graduates fresh out of the safety net of college/high school.
Bare with me A, I'm starting to think this is normal.
Progressively yours,
~M
