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.
