quitting

[jilly_ma_bean]

Come tomorrow I am a quitter, I’m giving my two weeks notice I cant take the job any more I’m done finished, and terrified, what if I don’t fond another job? I know my first year is paid for from my inheritance from Grammy but what about my second? Third? What if I can’t pay for it what if I have to drop out and become a complete failure

Jill, Jill, Jill. Congrats on throwing off the shackles of the bourgeois oppression! ... Or something like that, I learned about Marxism for the forty-trillionth time today. In short, I'm glad you're quitting if you hate your job so much. As to your worries, I don't know whether this is one of those situations where you want people to tell you it'll be OK, or to let you wallow, but I'm doing the former. Note that I am not saying your problems are insignificant, just trying to help you reframe them.

1) Job: You have much, much more work experience than most 20-year-olds. Finding a job, I know, is really hard, but you have a pretty killer resume with your work at the bank. Don't feel pressured to get a new job the day after you finish this one. Take a few days to take care of yourself. Buy a really expensive dress. It'll make you feel batter.
2) Money: You have your first year paid for, without even having to take out a loan or get help from your parents? That's better than probably 95% of first-year students. Don't know about the years after that? Join the club! There is always a way.
3) YOU ARE 20 YEARS OLD. You really don't need to worry about your kids hating you, of all things! I certainly am in no place to tell you everything's going to be all right with Cory, I don't know that, but I can tell you that worrying about finding someone to have kids with is really really pointless. You're going to university and working. That's what you should worry about now. With modern technology, you've got like 25 more baby-makin' years ahead of you, with or without a man!
4) School: Trust me, you never forget how to learn. It's really not that hard, and sometimes it's even interesting. Here's an early tip: Developing your own shorthand and always having several different highlighters on hand will prove invaluable.

Thus ends the longest lj comment in history!
