Depressed

I think I might seriously be depressed. That new movie is out..."Post Grad". The only thing I have to say about it is that, well, one, I'm definitely not going to see it (why depress myself more?), and two, I'M THE REAL POST GRAD. I honestly feel like my life could be just as interesting as any other movie. Whatever though, I'm always the last to think up these brilliant ideas.

But seriously, I'm depressed. I really don't know where my life is going, what I'm supposed to be doing, if I'm doing it right...or..whatever! It's hugely frustrating going out, trying to find a job. People look at you're resume like a 7-year-old made it, and you think, "HOW AN I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS?!!" Really though, do they offer some secret class in college that everyone kept hidden from me that is titled, "The ultimate resume writing course: everything you need to know about coming straight out of college with the perfect resume." Because I would have liked that class. I'm just frustrated at this point because I don't know how us, as "Post Grads", are supposed to know all these trick of the trade if we have no work experience. I go to apply to jobs that say, "Must have 2-3 years experience"....For an Administrative Assistant?!!!! UHHHHH I DON'T THINK SO! Hi, yeah, I went to college, I wrote papers out the ass, I know how to multi-task and know what a deadline means....I THINK I CAN HANDLE IT! Oh not to mention the year I spent as an intern at NBC Universal/KNTV. Pretty sure I learned a thing or too about USING A FAX MACHINE AND ANSWERING THE PHONE. Not rocket science. I don't mena to be disrespectful to the profession, but back in the day little housewives did this shit as a side job between making meatloaf for their dear husband and picking up their kids from school. They did this with NO college degree. Now suddenly it's a job requiring a 4-year degree and 2-3 years experience. Ok, I get some elements of technology are thrown into the mix, but seriously? I think I could manage.

Graduating is bull. Number-one thing I have learned from being a sweet little "post grad" is that the saying, "It's not what you know it's WHO you know" has never rang truer in my ears. I now know it's all about connections and networking and nothing about true desire or a competent skill set. Which is very unfortunate for me.

wow, what a rant... I'm sorry. I miss home, and friends, and I think I might be left alone too much. Might need to get another side job.
