Alright, I've never blogged before so I don't know how to start this off. I feel like I am talking to myself, but that's normal right?? Anyways, when you have as much time on your hands as I do, your mind tends to wander so I figured I will blog my boredom.
I guess I'll give a little background info.. Last May I graduated from a 4 year college in Missouri with a Bachelors in Accounting. I moved back to Tucson, where I am currently living with my parents. I have been looking for a good place to start my career for the past 8 months, and haven't had any luck yet. It's kind of depressing but we will get to that later. I am really close with my family, and I enjoy spending time with them, but there comes a time where I just need to grow up and move out and start my life. However, that is currently out of my control seeing as how I have no source of income to do so. I suppose I could get some random job just to pass the time, and make some change, but I don't feel like settling on something like that (is that weird?) So, I sit at home and apply to Boeing, Raytheon, Intel, IBM, and other major manufacturing companies so I can find a decent job. I guess the way I see it is, now that I have a degree, I want to use it. I don't want to end up getting a job that I could easily get with just a high school diploma. I shouldn't think of it that way, but I do. And if you know me, once I have my mind set on something like that, I don't change it.
So, now that I've waiting 8 months and been unsuccessful in the job market, I feel the need to try some different things to keep my sanity. I am good with kids, and I want to have some of my own someday. Until then, and while I'm still unemployed, I think I will try to volunteer at a Boys and Girls Club or something to make an impact and help out some kids who need role models. I have a perfect record and everything, so it should be no trouble to sign up for something like that, and it makes me feel good helping out other people.
I get down a lot because of certain things, but I guess life is really so fragile I shouldn't waste time worrying. For example, in one week I could get hired, and that would change my entire frame of mind. I would be happier, more energetic, and I would feel accomplished, like I had a new found purpose. So, if something so small, which I have no control over, can make such a large impact in my life, I suppose I shouldn't waste time feeling bad about my unemployment. It's crazy how fast life can change, so I'll focus on the positive and trust that God's got a plan for everything.
