Studies Show: Unemployment Leads to Blogging (At Least in My Case)

So far this summer, I have gone through at least twenty applications, one unsuccessful interview, and zero job offers. I would like to blame the economy, but then how would I explain all the people my age or younger who are currently employed? I guess most of the blame then lies on my inability to make a good, lasting impression. It doesn’t help that the only job experience I have is waitressing at a retirement home that refuses to ever hire me again because I gave a one-and-a-half-week notice instead of a two-week notice.

To top if off, I’ve spent almost two hundred dollars on just clothes, food, and entertainment. Whether it’s going out for dinner with a big group of friends or just relaxing by the pool with my girls, spending time with people can be expensive. I am literally earning a negative income here. If I was still a child, this would be totally acceptable. Or if I was rich, I could have a reality show documenting my enviable all-play-and-no-work lifestyle. Unfortunately, I am neither a child nor rich, so what I have become is just a bum.

Due to this recent inactivity, I have stumbled into the world of blogging. So while my family and friends slave away at summer school or at work, I sit. And I write. Yes, I realize the patheticism in everything that I am confessing. But to be honest, my life is so depressing right now, I don’t even care what people think. Blogging is what I have to do now to keep my brain from rotting away (not that there’s much left of my brain anyway), and with two more months left of summer break, this blogging business might even help me keep my sanity.
