Congratulations! You've graduated college and all your hard work has paid off! Now you get to start your life with a brand new job and begin making all that money you were promised. But wait, what about when you don't have a job immediately out of college? What happens when you see all your friends going back to school and you're binge-watching Netflix and trying to see how many Cheetos you can fit in your mouth? In case you've ever wondered, here's some things that have happened/gone through my head since I've graduated.
1. Your social life is almost non-existent.
Now that you don't live at college anymore, especially if you moved somewhere new for a job, you probably don't live close to many of your friends. You'll find yourself thinking about how you took living two minutes away from your friends for granted and wonder how adults make friends.
2. You realize you never have to go back-to-school shopping again.
JK you have no money because you have no job.
3. Watching your friends move back to school and start a new semester is surprisingly depressing.
Is there a way to go back to college without actually attending classes? Cuz this adult thing is awful and I miss all the free food on campus.
4. The six month grace period for your student loans seems a lot shorter now.
Six months always seemed like a long time until you had to start saving to pay off your student loans. And you thought your days of working three jobs were over.
5. The period between graduation and your first job seems like a mini-vacation until you realize you have no money.
Sometimes, it's hard to find a job right after college. You just pray you don't end up usingyour bachelor's degree to work in fast food again.
