*beating head against wall*
You know, I WANT to be doing something with myself. I want to be employed. I want to have the skills to get employed. And I'm trying! I'm working towards my degree. I'm looking up jobs on craigslist. I'm going to try filling out an app at the college bookstore. I'm sending off art to Lunacon, and I'll be selling at AX and possibly AniZona.
... but I'm suffering from some form of senioritis, there aren't often jobs on craigslist I'm qualified for and I was too late following up on a callback for one of those few, the bookstore probably doesn't need people right now, and I'm tearing my hair out over the prints because those are fucking hard to get right and I don't know enough to know the best or right ways to take care of that.
It's just... really frustrating.
I'm trying not to give myself the "I'm almost 22 and unemployed, and therefore clearly useless" bullshit, because I am trying, but it's... it's really discouraging when all the roads you want to follow either don't seem to go anywhere, or are just a little too high up for you to get to.
Meh. Welcome to the job hunt, I guess.

I'm staking a lot of hope on this Lunacon thing. plz notice me art world.
In the meantime, I guess I'd better stick the ol' resume up on craigslist and depend less on waiting for the right job posting, and fill out that app for the bookstore.

Although seriously, the whole "22 and unemployed" thing is bullshit. Colleges make you think you'll get the job you want/need right out of school, but it's just not true. All of my roomies are older than me (23-26) and are still struggling to find steady employment. That's not meant to be discouraging, just to show that it's totally not you, it's the system.
But it won't last forever. You will find the employment you need! *pumps fist*
And I'm so looking forward to AX. XD

That is a relief. It's... nerve-wracking, still, because I'm supposed to be an Adult now and yet I have no ability to provide for myself. Nnngh. Cons are going to be SO nice, this year - prints = income, however small, and that'll do wonders for my self-esteem.
... assuming I do sell anything. XD (No, no, don't throw tomatoes! I'm actually fairly confident about that.)
Dude, I so am too. XD It'll be so cool to meet KHFFR people.
