"Why am I here?"
"This job is wasting my time."
"I want to be anywhere but here."
Do these thoughts sound familiar?
Happy July folks. We've officially made it halfway through the year. You've probably graduated recently, adjusting to a new job, switched countless jobs, or are on the verge of a mental breakdown and thinking, "God damn it, my job sucks ass."
Have you ever experienced/had a variety of jobs in your life? Are they small jobs such as working concession stands, waiting tables, ziplining across the fields, mall-front jobs, or just those dead-end jobs of working behind the desk 9-to-5? Do you have those moments in which you think sometimes why do I have to go in when I could just stay at home and be a bum? Or what about having that dreaded job with an awful boss who has the tendency to throw unexpected shit at you to the point you end up cracking and feeling irritable? I know I have. Actually, I cracked on my job as of two weeks ago. But enough about me.
In our lives, we guaranteed to experience an array of jobs. 10 to 20 something perhaps. Sometimes you'll bounce back and forth (not intentionally of course, if so then there's a problem) three to four jobs in a year either due to change of management, bullshit drama, or just unreasonable pay. Most of all, specifically going out to recent college grads, today's job search consists of applying at least eight to a dozen times before that grand ol' job comes in hand.
Coming from your recent college grad, after a month or so of adjusting to this post-grad life is far from simply. Matter of fact, it's not an easy task. Most recent graduates can understand, know, and experience that jobs will come and go. You probably are working two to three jobs (small task jobs such as writing these articles) just to stay afloat. Or you just have that one job you've stopped giving a shit about and you decided after a month of officially staying there, you realize this job is not what you want to do.
