“what are you doing after graduation?” has to be my least favourite question ever. The reason why is I never have a convincing answer to give people because I don’t have a clue what I want in life. 

I’m honestly a little depressed. I’ve gone from having such a focus, drive and motivation to feeling like I’m floating aimlessly searching for a purpose to wake up each day. The sad reality is I probably took better care of my mental health when I was in the peak of uni coursework stress than I am at the moment. 

I have ambitions, aspirations and dreams but communicating these and understanding what’s most important to me at the moment is where I’m really struggling. 

...Not gonna lie, you can absolutely succeed anywhere you go to uni. But I have a 2.i from Cambridge and I waltzed into a training contract at a Magic Circle firm while a very well spoken friend with a 1st from Durham is having a nightmare trying to get lower tier firms. 

Job-seeking twentysomethings like myself are often unemployed and living in a surreal post-university daze. We strived through GCSE's to be allowed to to A-levels. We studied through A-levels to go to the university that looked the most prestigious so we could show-off to family and friends. We drank our way through university only to realise that university doesn't last forever and even after several months of agony writing a dissertation with a seemingly eternal hangover there is still no guaranteed job or income in the end of it.

Soon after finishing you get the letters through your parents door stating that you need to pay the money you borrowed from the state to fund your socialising, drinking, fun and frolics for the previous 3 years... oh and your education. So, what next?

This twentysomething has decided to change career choices ( originally decided upon when 17 and clueless) and do a course in business, marketing, law, finance and IT. Hopefully to prepare for the ominous world of work.
