The Hopewell House

Remember yesterday how I said it has been one of those days? Well to be honest, it's been one of those weeks...one of those many weeks. 

Friends, I think I am just totally and utterly burned out.

I'm panicking. 

It's like I woke up one day and realized I'm not really doing anything I'm passionate about. I'm not in school pursuing what I want to do & I'm not in areas I see myself long term.

Realistically, I know this is all just part of the growing up process, but, it kind of scares me. I know people always say "Oh, you're young, you have plenty of time to decided!" But really, in this economy, is there the leniency for that to really happen? Most jobs are requiring to be specialized in an area or have a Master's degree not to mention years of experience. My degree? It's in Psychology-- how ridiculously generic is that and my experience is being a recruiter and working at Starbucks. I mean I definitely learned a lot from my Psych courses and they really have helped me out especially from a customer service aspect. But really, I wish I had set a game plan for myself, at least had more of a direction. Now I'm sitting here with a Psychology degree and where can I go with it? My only real option is a Master's degree in a more specialized area, which means more schooling and a longer waiting period to even start applying to those higher up positions that sounds appealing. But then what about the needed experience in the specialized area? 

It's just frustrating and complicated and I really wish now that I had listened more to the advice that had been given to me years back.

Ugh.
I know it will all turn out okay in the end, I just wish sometimes I knew more what the outcome to my life would be.

Ok, ok, I'm done ranting and raving.

I think it's time for some nice comfy sweats, a mug of hot chocolate, and a few hours of doing absolutely nothing at all.
