Here is a close up, its a deep navy blue, almost black, but not quite....
Now no to some more over analyzing deep thoughts since I am not running and calming my mind....
I know the majority of people do not use their degree once they graduate college... 1. Is this really true, I am pretty sure those with teaching degrees teach, engineers engineer things... etc.
I feel like now looking back, although I am using my degree, I am not doing what I should with it, I wonder if it was really worth the cost... I know I do not regret college as a whole, and soon I will find a place I fit and am happy, but for now, what was the purpose of paying all that money, I could have saved a whole lot, and gone straight into working, at this point making what I am making without the debt.
shirt - elle
skirt - thrifted
shoes - xhiliration
purse - garage sale
College is invaluable (yet I just said I feel it might be over valued too, I am mixed up remember) but what about those of us that kinda just went through the motions, I know it proves you can tackle anything, deadlines, schedules, etc. and that I should know more than the average person. However, beyond that I can tell you I was not the most intelligent brain-iace in my graduating class, I am normal, and it seems normal just doesn't cut it sometimes... especially when the economy is in the dumps
I know that if the economy was normal, if people where building things, and planners where needed, I would have a job, feel important, and like I am adding to something, making something easier for others. I know I am not the only one that feels useless and like my time is being wasted way, and I know I am not the worst off, but I feel stuck. As a country we are a bit stuck aren't we. I also know that all it takes is one offer for my world to change and there will be much reflection back on how where I am now helped me to get where I will be...
and that keeps me going... (paying the bills helps too, but mostly that)
Heather, its not a waste... yes, it was freaking expensive to go, but truly, the experience made you who you are, let you meet people you would have never gotten the chance to know, and you got to be a part of something- like Tri Delt- that really helped you grow as a person. I would encourage you to look at other options if you feel like you aren't doing what you want to be doing. Or just volunteer- work for Habitat for Humanity, get involved in a local St. Jude fundraising campaign, or walk dogs for the animal shelter. Just keep on putting one foot in front of the other. Its not easy, but gosh, its the only way sometimes. Because frankly, standing still is a big waste of time! :)
ReplyDeleteLove you. And your outfit is pretty cool too!!!!! :)
I really like your found skirt!
ReplyDeleteI understand your disillusonment, but try and keep your head up. I got laid off from my first job out of school last winter and it was a really hard time for me. However, I slowly have figured a lot of stuff out and your 20s really are a time to figure a lot of things out. You'll be okay, and a good education really shouldn't be considered a waste!
