I visited some apartments of friends of friends on New Year's Eve, and I had to leave a little after midnight because I felt very sad about not getting a salaried, full-time job and consequently not being able to sign a lease in the city, despite a year and a half of trying after graduating. Worst of all, I don't know a single soul who attended the same schools I did who's in my situation. Feels like I scraped the bottom of the barrel.
I wish I could live apart from my parents in the suburbs. Dating, for example, just isn't possible. But I digress.
