- After graduating college, I couldn't get a full-time job, so I am working several part-time gigs.
- I am frustrated because I didn't know it would be this hard to make ends meet after college.
- I am trying to look on the bright side and understand that I am learning financial lessons.
After the initial thrill and excitement of graduation wore off, the first few months as a recent college graduate were quickly followed by a blur of job applications, rejections, and figuring out budgeting basics.
