do any of you feel like you dont know what to do with yourself now that you are out of school? or whenever you do graduate..? are any of you panicking at the thought of going out into the wide open world of jobs and careers?
my whole purpose in life for the past 24 years (minus the first couple of years) has been placed and found in school. and now the prospect of that schooling career ending is terrifying.
the thought of having to find a job in some area that will in some way use my education, be fulfilling and useful and in some way add to my happiness if not just my bank account, is overwhelming.
i am literally petrified of life after studying. maybe i will just go on to get a further degree, phd or something. or an extra masters. and just keep studying forever.

yeah i have that. still.
it's called quarter-life crisis. we all go through it. i had it last year. i still have it, every now and then.
you already did the nanny thing for a year, what you should do is become a FULL TIME MOM. That will occupy your time !!!!!!!
dane, did you completely forget our visits to the bar when i needed to escape for a while? our conversations, or mostly me bitching, about kids and taking care of kids? or how i swore i wouldnt have any of my own for at least five years???
yes.
seems like an "unreality" almost huh? you want for so long as a kid to be an "adult" and now real adulthood and the responsibilities that go with are really no fun and really very scary. funny how life is like that huh?
I want to be a kid again. and I'm not even done with school yet. I'm terrified of having no schooling left!
Sometimes there's jobs out there that your degree didn't train you for, but you end up liking anyway. Just something I've stumbled on.
