Life After College Sucks...A Lot.

Normally I offer something on this blog that people can actually find useful (for a while I was doing a "free friday" bit), but today it's for venting purposes. First of all to anyone who visits this page whether it be out of boredom or you happen to just stumble upon on it, thank you. A posting about Watsky yesterday helped the blog get 10 views and I know that's not a lot to most, but to me it means someone out there is taking time to read this and I appreciate that. Now, on to the rant.

So yeah, life after college pretty much sucks. In a down economy you most likely won't end up finding a job in your field (especially depending on your degree) and you'll either be unemployed or underemployed. You'll also move back in with your parents who will drive you insane (even if they're cool and you love them to death like I do mine, it's still hard to move back in with them after college). You'll see your college friends a lot less (obviously) especially if you're like me and went to an out of state school. And finally (although I'm sure theres more) the financial burden of loans and helping your parents by taking over your own bills quickly adds up and you'll soon realize how much debt you'll be in for the next 10+ years of your life.

That being said, was it all worth is in the end? YES. You can't put a price on the friends you make and the memories of truly epic parties and other fun times you'll have after 4 solid years of drinking and slacking off. The only bad part of college is that it has to end, but I guess things could be a lot worse and I would rather have lived 4 of the best years of my life then not go to college at all. Now I just need to stumble upon a small fortune and my troubles will be solved (mostly). Until next time folks, keep your head up and take salvation in knowing that if you are one of the majority of college graduates that is unemployed/underemployed and living at home, you're not alone in this world, and that things will get better...eventually.
