The only progress I've made is get progressively more mopey
I graduated with my Masters recently. I know it's a great achievement and all, that I'd get better job opportunities. It's also *admirable* that I *voluntarily* continued my education.
I still feel unfulfilled.
I learned throughout my schooling, sure, but most of it didn't present much of a challenge. I had my favorite classes and topics and worked more on those, but making the grades and my 3.6 GPA were too much of a breeze for me to feel satisfied. Was the school too easy? Was I too "smart"? Am I just plain uninterested in the field I chose?
I think I would've done better in a Masters in Creative Writing or something (which isn't even available at the school I went to) somewhere, but I'd be afraid if that ends up destroying my love of writing. Rather than a fun hobby, it would become a chore. Even now, I don't have a set profession that I want except for maybe writing, but both laziness and writer's block are killing me. I come up with so much in my head, but I get too unmotivated to notate it all. All the things I've been writing have come up in little spurts--mostly in vignettes. I write poetry, too, and have written many of those on Tumblr, but I feel more imaginative with prose.
Going to graduate school wasn't a long-time plan for me. I went there last-minute and got accepted into the school rather quickly. Before I knew it, I had to sign my candidate plan of studies and come up with some bullshit for my "career goals" in the introductory class icebreaker activities.
I need motivation and non-bullshit answers D:
