This Economy

So, to be honest, I have literally applied to over 40 jobs.

Dear Economy,
It's me, Katie. Why have you failed me as of right now? Because of you, companies are in 'hiring freezes' and this does not please me.

I am starting to think that I will graduate this May, with a degree and a great education and have no job. I, along with a majority of my class, will walk up to get our diploma, jobless. Upon coming to UD, they guarunteed my parents that I would walk away with a job. Then you, economy, hit, and not matter how much UD can try and help me, I do not see this job coming to me anytime soon.

I am stressed. I am sad. I am frustrated. I want to cry and will when it al really hits me. And at the same time I feel disappointed with myself, when really, I should not be. I have worked my ass off. I have a great internship and experience and sales and many other fields, and what do I get? Nothing. My optimism is slowly sinkking down the drain.

I do not want to graduate jobless and move home with mom, dad and brother. I do not want to waitress my first year. I want a real job. I want to work. I want a salary. I want benefits. I want to get my career started. I want to just grow up. And that is something that I never though I would say. But I want to be in my path. I want the job I am meant to work, I want it all and I am trying so hard and I feel so let down.

In the words of Vicki from the Real Housewives of Orange County, "I want the power and the money and I want them both." I have such a strong will and determination to succeed. I try to create my oppotunities but that is not working. I just need a break economy. I can get a job if the hiring freeze will end. Please heal yourself like Wolverine. Throw me a bone here. All I want is to get my life started after graduation. That's all I want and have ever wanted.

Love,

Katie
