this job hunt is killing me! a word of advice to future grads: don't wait til the hiring season's over to look for employment.
usually, i try not to stress about life's happenings and take things as
they come but i feel like there's all this pressure for me to land that
job. now that UF is no longer paying me, money's become an
issue. well, money's always been an issue cuz of my spending
habits and $10k credit card debts. but now that i've graduated, i
gotta start worrying about paying back my student loans too.
okay, money's not THAT big of a deal cuz i can change my habits and get
a part-time job to hold me over. but that's just the thing... i
can't! my lease is gonna end in july so my stay in florida is limited
it seems. and i'm trying to go back to taiwan for a bit to visit my
grandparents, cuz i know once i start working, i won't have a chance
to. if i decide to go back, i need to buy tickets soon.
more schools are letting out as time goes and plane tickets are
becoming more expensive. and i need to move out of my apartment
next month so if i'm going to drop $1500 on a plane ticket, i'm gonna
make damn sure i'm gonna get my money's worth by staying as long as i
can.
but the real pressure is from my family. i can't escape my
responsibilities as the oldest in my generation, nor do i want to, but
my family problems are fucked up like you wouldn't believe. my
dad's starting to talk loco and my brother's becoming a mute,
so-to-speak.
right now, i believe that things will work themselves out once i get a
job. my employment will affect everyone in my family, even
relatives in taiwan.
perhaps i'm putting too much on myself, who knows?
