I’m sitting here in my dining room at 11:25am on a Tuesday. In sweat pants. Looking out the window as cars go by. This apparently, is what life after college is like.
Now I know that’s not true. But right now, for me, it is. I have two part-time jobs, one of them being mostly work from the home should I choose. It’s strange.
It’s strange to not have my friends by my side 24 hours a day.
It’s strange to not have every hour of my day planned out.
It’s strange that I can take time to relax on a regular basis and not feel guilty about it. (Still workin on this one.. I was trained for four years to think that relaxing meant you were getting behind.)
It’s strange getting paid to do things I used to do in my free time like checking blogs and social media, studying the Bible, writing, etc.
What was your hardest adjustment from post-college life?
My college and post-college experiences were nearly opposite yours. For the most part, I didn’t have to work very hard in college. I chose to study what came easiest and was most interesting to me. I was good at school, and that had been my “job” my whole life. Assuming some writing ability, being an English major is just plain easier than, say, computer science. With a liberal arts major, there’s no set path after college, and my whole life had been neatly planned out before. After graduation I had to make it up as I went along and work a lot harder. Where I used to get by easily, now I had to be much more of a self-starter, juggle lots of responsibilities and deal with some very difficult people. For a couple years I had pretty crappy jobs, and it was quite a shock going from a place where most people I interacted with were interested in me as a person or wanted to help me, to work environments where the only thing that mattered was if I could do X, Y and Z. In college I had lots of free time, which I mostly squandered. Well, the time spent in close community with friends wasn’t totally wasted, but after college that was gone too. Even though I have a good church community now, everybody still has to pursue their own lives. It’s not like college when we were all just students together, and you could just walk downstairs to be with your best friends. I know there are similarly close Christian communities, but I’m not sure how that would work with a family. I’ve accepted the college experience only happens once. The future will be good, but it won’t be the same.

I tried to post a comment earlier, however it hasn’t shown up. I imagine your spam filter might be broken?
Music began playing anytime I opened this internet site, so irritating!
Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case wajadud555
I really like your wordpress design, where would you get a hold of it through?
You’re making your own items effectively yet I still am not convinced yet.
