Netflix or LinkedIn

This lifestyle is hard. Some look at unemployment as WOOHOO, fun fun fun in the sun, travel the world, meet up with friends, watch your favorite Netflix shows. To me, it's freaking exhausting. My friends are all w-o-r-k-i-n-g or going to school. My boyfriend just got into PA school, so his life consists of studying at all hours of the day. Unemployment means absolutely no money to do fun things. It means buying the cheapest thing at coffee shops but still trying to look sophisticated. Sometimes I just feel like I'm on a mission to suck up as much free wifi as possible.

I know people who have been unemployed for many months. I just don't understand how they do it. It makes me sad, defeated, and confused. But it also drives me to be completely unlike them. Not only do I want to find a job, but I want to find one I love. Even if it means residing at my boyfriend's parents' house another month or two or three. *Shedding a tear*

I spent two hours this morning watching Netflix. I thought to myself, "I deserve this. I've been busting my butt applying, connecting, and writing cheesy blogs." But then I went on LinkedIn (still confused as to why I'm always on LinkedIn these days). But I found a couple articles worth reading, but before I read them, I instantly got out of bed, put some jeans on, and Google searched yet another coffee shop. I felt guilty doing absolutely nothing. If I'm going to find a job, it's not going to be when I'm catching up on New Girl, it's going to be when I'm out there making things happen. I thought to myself, what more can I even do? I'm waiting to hear back from some interviews so I should just sit here and wait. Unfortunately, my brain doesn't work that way and I can't just wait. I have to occupy myself with something productive.

So, here I am. In another coffee shop, writing another blog post about my life. I hope you're not sick of me yet because there are good things coming! One really great thing about today is the muffin I just had. Morning Glory - second best next to Jule's morning glory muffins in La Crosse. So I'm happy. Actually, I'd be happier if it wasn't $3.99. There were no price tags what-so-ever on the muffins. Coffee shops, please put price tags on your muffins. It was worth it though.

Anyways, I can't wait to one day write you a blog post telling you I bought two dozen muffins for my super fun co-workers and it was nooo problem.

My point is, Netflix and Pinterest are a thing of the past. If I'm going to have a wonderful future, I need to put down the social media schemes. First of all, Pinterest is so unrealistic right now. How am I supposed to day dream about houses and cute outfits and puppies if I can't afford literally any of it? And Netflix, you suck in many ways. Sure, I laugh at almost every New Girl episode you have to offer, but you are the worst distraction of all.

If you are going through this situation, please email me. Let me know I'm not alone.

If you are not in this situation and you have a happy, lovely job, also email me. Give me some encouragement. I appreciate it.
