Post College... the Middle School of Adulthood

"Failure"


I feel like it's a repeating theme in conversation with all my 20-something friends. Since graduating nearly 3 years ago, I've been floundering around trying to find my place in the world or at least a place that feels a little more stable. I've lived in 5 places in one city and worked 6 different jobs. With a forced smile, I'm constantly searching for something in my field or at least something that didn't sound lame when I imagine having to tell someone what I do.


Is it the economy?

Is it me?


However, it seems to be everyone. Most of my friends have expressed their frusterations with not being where they hoped they would be in a career or a relationship at this stage of life.


I wish I could just snap my fingers and see how it is all going to turn out because I keep thinking that maybe in 6 months.... maybe a year...


maybe tomorrow.
