frustrating

I can only assume that people who demand absolute perfection in others can only be more let down by their own imperfections. At least I hope because no one should always feel like they have to live up to other people's unattainable standards of perfection.


I find it ironic that I'm about to finish my Master's degree. I have a list of goals for my life that run through my head daily; what I want to do and who I want to become, 95% of which have nothing to do with my career goals. Part of me is saying that this Master's degree means that I need to buckle down and focus on finding the perfect job, while the other part of me is saying that the perfect job for me right now has nothing to do with being serious and grown-up.


Right now I'm grateful that:

• I have great friends and family that will put up with/support me during this difficult time.
• I know myself well enough to know that I won't enjoy certain jobs/locations even if they pay me more than others.
• Someone will hire me this summer to do SOMETHING, even if it has nothing to do with my degree.
• I know a lot of smart and hard-working people who are having troubles finding jobs after college as well.
