The Day I've Been Dreading

Ok, so, I'm not quite sure who reads this blog, so I need to backtrack a little in order to write today's entry. I am a 23 year old who graduated college this May. I earned myself a B.A. in Political Science and needless to say felt very proud. I was certain that I would have a job in no time....and not just any job....a REAL job.

Honestly, it would have been nice if someone had warned me that I picked the absolute worst time in the world to graduate. No sooner did i have my little ceremony than banks start closing down, companies begin to lay employees off, and the stock market plummets. Here it is, November, 6 months since I've graduated and I am still unemployed. I have sent out so many resumes, I'm positive that i am single-handedly responsible for the destruction and demise of the Earth's rain forests. I have not received a single call back. It's a bit depressing.

Anyways, I've stayed as positive as possible, even though i'm 23 and again living with the parents, and I've continued to watch as the months go by, my bank account bleeding numbers as I try to pay credit card bills that exceed the amount I actually have. But I figured, I'm not done for yet, until that number hits $0 I'm good.

Sadly friends, I'm down to my last $100. My credit card bills are about $200 a month and the reason today is the day I've been dreading: I just got my first statement for my student loans and need to give them about $250 by December 1st.

Please keep me in your prayers, I need a small miracle.
