Hello, my name is Emily. I am a 23 year old recent college graduate (BA). My story begins a year ago, when I fresh out of college with a full set of dreams on my shoulders. My family used to always say you can do anything you want, be anything you want. I can barely see those words in my head anymore. Right out of college I got a job. I was finally on my way, got a little apartment, I felt like I could really make it. Six months later I came to work, to find I didn't have a job. We were going to suddenly close the doors, due to the rough economy. This is when I confidently began my job search, thinking that this was happening for a reason, and my true dream career was an interview away! Well about 10 interviews and 3 months later I can barely keep my head from drowning. I spend my days applying for jobs, and my nights searching for more. I have sold most of what I own. I don't shop, don't fill my self in Frappachinos, can't remember the last time I walked into a restaurant to eat and not just give my application. I don't understand, I'm frustrated, depressed. I think this mood of mine is a common reality in the USA today.
I'm at the point right now where my rent is due in a week and I have no idea where it is going to come from. I have utility bills, car insurance, a credit card bill (they are not very happy with me), and food and gas. I am at the end of my rope!
