Society doesn't want me in the 'real world'. . .

Firstly, I'm going to apologise for this epic rant I'm about to go on. But I think that society sucks.

So that job I told you about, was pretty much a waste of time. And yes I got experience of going to interview but I've been to a fair few interviews now and all of them have been unsuccessful. Clearly I am just awful at them.

I decided that I'd like to teach Sociology at A level, but after looking into it in more depth it is almost impossible unless I have a spare £9,000 lying around. Looked at going to college but that is aimed at people without a degree so once again I am 'over-qualified'. So looked at a postgraduate course - there are 3 Universities in the country that do a Sociology teaching qualification - making about 6 places in the entire country and yet I still can't even try and apply because I don't have enough money. This is because society seems to think Sociology is completely useless when in actual fact it is quite important in the development of society but balls to that.

So unless you have experience or a bloody useful qualification or £100000000000000 then to actually get anywhere in this so called 'real world'. Well put it this way, you can't. So to sum up, I'm going to be stuck living on this hill, voluntarily working, earning little money, with no transport and no friends and my parents moaning at me to get a job for what seems to be the rest of my life. In case you can't tell I am surrounded by a deep cloud of depression and self pity - or as my very good friend put it a cloud of acid. I've got nothing. I don't even really have a clue what to do with my life - I'm just stuck, wedged and I've got NOTHING.

So, I wasted three years and £25000 to get to the exact place I was at with just my a levels. I met some cracking people and had a great time but I'm just so stuck. I knew I shouldn't of gone to uni straight away and that I should of tried to decide what I wanted to do and then study it. Stupid stupid stupid.

Also, I can't use my touch screen phone to save my life and I have no idea how to do anything. That's just a side note but it making me really really angry.

From your world hating friend.

I'd love a cracker

So, today I decided to apply for a job. It's a research job that will really use my degree - the only problem is I can't write CV's or cover letter's. I should probably go for some career advice on writing them but until I have a job spec to show them it seems to be a bit hopeless.

In other news, I have a new phone coming tomorrow which means I'm going to become anti social for the next year whilst I figure out how on earth you use touch screen. The spooky thing is, whilst I wait for my new phone to come my old phone is playing up. It's almost like it knows that it is going to be replaced - in fact I think it does somehow know and is trying to stop me from having contact with the outside world! Weird.

Also, I have invested in a bike well I haven't spent any money (mainly because I don't have any) but I have borrowed my friends whilst she is at University. This is all part of my I need to find some things to do phase. This has mainly come out of me being bored of scoping endless job websites with no success. We shall see how this job application turns out - I'm hoping it will be okay, but my sceptical nature is telling me it won't.

I feel my parents are worrying I'm going to fall into a pit of depression because I can't find work. They keep coming up with ways to get me out the house - today it was furniture shopping. They want a new dining room table, however, they don't want it for 2 months but they want to make use of the January sales. Such a palava, how on earth I became part of it I will never ever know.

Honestly, you have no idea how excited I am about this new phone. Everyone loves new things but something new replacing something old that you don't like is possibly the most exciting thing to happen in 2013 so far. Even more exciting then the fact I had friends for 3 days before they all went back to University.

Right, I should probably get back to chatting with the family.

Over and out.

It's just the beginning

Hello, Hi, How, Sup etc etc.

I felt like the new year was the time to start a blog. To illustrate my insanity in one place, my quirky nature and bizzare thoughts as well as my optimism mixed with a dash of cynicism.

Its mainly a way to write my musings, success and failures in one place. Oh and also a place to put my embarrassing moments and encounters down - which, I'm not going to lie, happen far too regularly for my liking. Like the other day, went out for dinner with a few friends and started singing out loud thinking it was in my head - turns out that isn't socially acceptable? Who knew.

So, I've just decided to enter a 10k, bearing in mind I don't run or really do any form of exercise so it should be an experience if nothing else. I really need to get into gear and get my exercise on, I'll start on Monday. Famous last words I know. But at least I'll have something to do to occupy my time that's the main thing.

The University rang me yesterday to tell me about a possible internship, which sounds like it could be interesting and actually make use of my degree. Which is something I wasn't sure would ever happen, in fact I was pretty sure it wouldn't.

I've decided to make a bucket list, so far it is pretty ambitious including things like own a tea room, write a children's book and go swimming with dolphins. I reckon the latter is a lot more doable than the former options but only time will tell. My life plan of marrying a rich man may help me set up a tea room - I can picture it now.

Had a cracking Christmas and New Year, filled with me getting far too rowdy and making a complete fool out of myself. My New Years resolution that I hope to stick to is going to be to find a job - lets see how that goes.

Well I think I've actually rambled as always, it's what I'm best at.

Much love.
