Catch 22

It is a gorgeous friday around noon and I have finally woken up and gotten out of bed. A luxury? Perhaps some might say that. A perk of being unemployed; no early hours or stressful job to worry about. One might think I have all the time in the world to do whatever I want.  Each day can lead to new possibilities when there isn't a mundane routine tying you down. Ahhhh yes, freedom at its finest. Laziness becomes all too tempting and the motivation for productivity becomes scarce. Tis the life of a post college grad looking for work.

Now with all this free time on my hands what is a girl to do? Travel? Go out with friends? All the things I didn't have time for and was too tired to do while working. I would love to keep busy and entertained...however without an income it makes socializing and enjoying the finer things in life quite difficult...and that my friends is the catch 22.  Have a job with money? Great! now all your free time will be occupied and you won't have a chance to enjoy it. Don't have a job or strings tying you down? Can't enjoy your free time because you have no money.

When it seems like there are too many options and too many possible paths; how does one make a decision? Gut instinct? Advice from others? How should I decide which work path to embark on now? We'll see where the world takes me. Now I must keep attempting to find the best possible way to get my resume on top of the stack.
