There's a Ghost in my Apartment

It attacks whenever I'm gone and no one is at home. One minute my things are in one place, I leave, and then when I return, everything is rearranged. It is so spooky. I'm not sure if you've been haunted by the "dirty" ghost, but it haunts me daily.

Usually on Saturday's I clean my apartment. I do the dishes, vacuum the living room, and pick up my clothes off the floor in my bedroom. Then, slowly, the ghost haunts me. It usually starts with the kitchen. Over the next several days, I'll notice that some of the things that I cleaned, are now dirty and sitting in the sink or on the counter. Then, the ghost moves to the living room: socks, shoes, and jackets begin to litter the floor. Then my bedroom, over the course of several days, my clothes again appear on the floor. How does this happen every week? I'm not sure...

The ghost isn't biased either, it also haunts my wife. Her clothes will be all picked up one day, and then it's almost as if a bomb exploded in her closet and they're all on the floor. It's beginning to unnerve me. How does one get rid of this ghost? How does one keep their home permanently clean?

Maybe I'll never find out. Maybe this ghost will follow me throughout my life. I hope not. But, someone please tell me how to work with this beast!

Time to Adult

I need a someone that is more adult than me.

I'm finishing up my last semesters in school and I have begun my search for an adult job. This is scary stuff. I'm not sure I want to be ready for this. Can't I just go back to the days when I was five and I got to sit in my underwear and watch Scooby Doo? Life was so much more simple.

Here's a thing that sucks about growing up and applying for jobs: almost every job I look for, even entry-level positions, require at least three years of experience. Like, how? I'm just graduating from college, and I'm already expected to have three years of professional experience before I even get out of college? That doesn't seem fair.

Next thing that sucks: applying online. This is so not personal! Who even looks at those online resumes? To be honest, if I was in a company that was hiring and people were submitting things online, I wouldn't spend any time with them. I would spend my time looking at resumes of people who I had a connection with. Finding a job is all about knowing the right people and if you don't know anyone, then you may be out of luck. Guess I should have gone to all those networking events, oops.

I just want to go back home and live with my parents! I don't want to make my own food, pay my own bills, and find my own job. Is there such a thing as a quarter-life crisis? Because I think I'm in one currently. And besides, us Milennials don't want to stay anywhere for longer than a few years. I'm not ready for this. But I guess I am. I've made it this far in my college career on my own.

Welp, I guess Scooby Doo will have to wait, I need to go apply for more jobs online and hope someone will look at it.
