I shouldn't have gotten out of bed

I can't catch a break. Thanks NJCU! You guys really know how to help a college grad out. 

So, I caved & applied for unemployment. I battled long & hard about this. I didn't want to give in but I have no choice. I applied in hopes I can receive at least a quarter of what I need for at least rent. It is not. Then again, maybe NJCU can pull through & help me out. Those chances are slim. They never help. H.R. department shooed me away, Payroll department kept cutting me off. Seriously, NO HELP. It seems as though I may be receiving a little less than $100.00 which isn't anything at all & will barely cover rent, let alone utilities... not to mention my loans! I should have just stayed in bed.

I think I will be moving back home with the parents.

:( 

sad day.

The search continues

Endless application after the next, rejection seems endless! Even wanted ads for gogo dancers need experience. Soon pimps aren't going to hire just any prostitutes. They are going to require references, resumes, and a free demonstration. Times are hard, even pimps need to make a living. One of my friends suggested me to apply to this newspaper - I declined. Not just because it's in north jersey but b/c it is far... okay, maybe it has to do with the fact my arch nemesis is the editor to it as well. So, sue me. Hey, I rather carry my dignity than to ever go crawling to her for help. She helped herself enough when she decided to be sneaky and move on to my left overs which were still warm.

Meow.

For the sake of not having this sound like teenage problems, I'll move on.

My father had even jumped in the pool of trying to find me a job. Which is great b/c I only have a couple of months (month and a half) before I run out of money & move back home with the parents. Every college grad's worst fear. I refuse to give in - that is until I really run out of money. Donations, anyone? Anyone? I'll make it worth your while! :D I'm lying. I've been applying to places in New Brunswick along with New York, and Newark. If anyone can hack into my e-mail, they would only see a bunch of outgoing applications dating 4 months back. I have an exciting life. Of course along with those e-mails, a lot of notices form my credit card that I need to pay asap before they take my dog as collateral.

Seriously, people. If the economy is so bad, STOP POSTING WANTED ADS! Giving us hope & then snatching it away is not cool. Plus, it puts a downer in our self esteem & worth!

Greetings from "real world"

So summer has come & gone & so has my blog. I have totally been A.W.O.L. all summer and that is such a no-no. Now can you see why it's frustrating for me to have a blog in the first place? Seriously, I need to watch MTV's Awkward to be inspired to blog more often. Pretty sad/pathetic, I know. Anyway, let's see what I can catch up on...

Life after NJCU & the Gothic Times has not been so sweet. I can't count how many job applications and positions I have applied for -not all Journalism positions, btw. I have been applying for journalism jobs and receptionist positions. Could you imagine I can't even land a receptionist job? All the applying and rejections constantly make me feel like bashing my head threw a wall over & over again. I always knew finding a job after school was going to be a challenge, I just wasn't prepared for this much trouble. Interview after interview & the only thing I have learned was to lie, make your weaknesses your awesomeness, and that I hate phone interviews. I really hate phone interviews. They are such an attack & not to mention absolutely ruthless and cutthroat. After countless rejections I still have to keep my hopes up and march forward in hopes someone will take pity of a college grad living on her own (well, with her brother) with very little money left in her savings and finally offer me a job that pays at least $11/hr.

Here's hoping!

The department of 'D' isn't bad. In fact, everything has been great. No complaints. It is safe to say I am seeing his flaws now more than before. So far, it's worth it. In this relationship I feel like a 13 year old. I'm not sure what to expect or how to act. I feel as though at this point of my life I should be working & living with someone, however neither of those things are happening. I think it would make more sense if I knew D for more time than a few months.... about 6/7 months to be exact... I think. I was never one to be good at math. I don't see moving in with him in my future yet. It would be nice & I think we could make it but I need a job and a secure promise from him...

I didn't do much this summer due to lack of fond but I did have summer fun. I met a few new people & rekindled old friendships. I also met some people I just cannot wait to leave behind and never speak to again. I also met people that I would have loved to have dated as well but D securely held my attention & couldn't be happier.
