So it’s been a while since I’ve been on here, and you can’t blame me because I’ve mainly been trying to get this adulting lifestyle figured out.

It’s been almost 2 months since I’ve graduated college and I feel like I have become the professional version of a Fuckboy.

Now I say this because Fuckboys are generally known to slide in the DMs with a purpose of basically getting some. They will use any line to try and capture their prey.

For the past few months I have been on LinkedIn nonstop lurking on employees and recruiters for companies that I want to work at and sliding in their InMail to try and connect with them.

It honestly feels so weird doing that! But a girl got to do what she got to do to start getting income!

As a girl who constantly gets annoying DMs from guys trying to holla for whatever nonsense, I feel that this is what these employees and recruiters feel. Every day they get college graduates messaging them trying to finesse a job.

If I was them, I would be putting all my messages on mute and just never answer with how annoying it is. I feel so bad, but I don’t have any other options.

Postgrad life is stressful with job applications. Jobs expect you to have experience on things the day you came out the womb. Everything is all about who you know to get where you want to go. It’s freaking ridiculous!

My old coworkers always told me to take it easy and enjoy being young, but I can’t! I need a job. I’ve always been the kind of girl that either had school or a job. It gives me something to do, and I like that. I miss always having something to do.

I have successfully gone from being a homeless kid to a college graduate and I am so proud of that, but my journey isn’t finished, and neither is my fight from poverty. Having some income could help my family out and it’s hard not being able to do anything for them now.

Every day I wake up and continue to job search, apply, lurking and sliding in the recruiters InMail. It is amazing I have not thrown my laptop out the window yet.

However, I am trying to keep a positive attitude and enjoy my freedom while I can.
