And now for something completely different…

Sorry, I sort of lied in that title. This post isn’t really that different.

When I first started writing this blog I was focusing it mainly on job hunting, and the problems, the high’s and the low’s, the thing is, now I realise that really there’s more to life, and sometimes my job hunting is affected by outside factors.

As well as my passion for complaining being a great contributing factor, I think this justifies me changing the focus of my blog to focus on total adulthood, and the journey which I am facing from graduate to full adult life.

So here’s what has prompted me to write today.

I am in a long distance relationship with a guy I met at university. To be honest, I love him, and I would move out with him, and marry him tomorrow. I know he’s the guy that I’d spend the rest of my life with.

Now we’re hours apart, obviously it’s not ideal. It hurts sometimes when I’m having a bad day and I’d just like to come home and have him there. But we’re making it work.

We were seeing each other about once a month, but now he’s got a job. He works Monday to Friday, and it’s a long way to travel just to be together for one night and two half days.

I’m gonna be honest, ‘cos hey, if anybody did read this, and they were going through something similar I’d want them to know they’re not alone..

When he told me about the job, as proud and happy as I was for him, I couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed, that we had planned to spend about a week together and now this obviously wouldn’t be possible. It was likely that work will get in the way of us seeing each other in the future, but luckily, as he assured me, it’s a short term pain for a long term gain of us being together permanently.

If you’re in a similar position, please don’t feel bad, or guilty. It’s natural.

I also can’t help but feel down because now he has a job, and after a couple of horrible interviews, and after applying for a good thirty jobs this week, I still have nothing. As proud as I am, and as pleased as I am for him, WHY ISN’T IT ME?!

I trust my time will come, and everything will work out. I really wanna know what the main struggles you guys face with growing up – Please relate to me people!

Hello

So this is my opening blog. I’m going to blog straight after this, because I am in the writing frame of mind.

So, this is a little blog about my life as an unemployed, struggling graduate. I say “struggling”, because, honestly, I am struggling. I am struggling to wake up every morning and carry on with my life. Everything seems incredibly hopeless, and when I look in the mirror, I no longer recognise the person who looks back at me.

So, if you don’t mind being occasionally moaned at, PLEASE, read my blog. But even if you don’t, I am going to continue to write it because for now it is a great way to vent some of my frustration and feel actually worthy.
