The End of College = The Death of my social life :(

Death of my social life? Ok, so here's my definition of "death of a social life": an abrupt interruption or complete ceasing of social interaction and or engaements.

College was THE BEST experience I have ever had in my ENTIRE life, hands down. It also happened to be the part of my life where I had the most AMAZING friends and experiences. Since moving back home I have yet to have an experience that could match up to the greatness of my college experiences.

Currently, I'm working at a retail store as a "Department Supervisor w/keys"--ain't nothin' serious, it pays the bills though! Now, I don't know if you've worked in retail or not but my experience so far has been HORRIBLE. Yes, completely detestable in every which way possible. Thank God for the experience though, because I do plan on using this job experience as a means to catapult me into my desired career. Haha, I digress, moving on. :) One of the main reason why I hate retail is that it requires that you work all the days the rest of the world is either vacationing or taking a day off from work; i.e. nights, weekends, and holidays--Lawd! Now this is a complete 180 degree difference from my college life a.k.a. my "previous life", lol. Going to school allowed the flexibility to go on vacations. You know, the summer breaks, spring breaks, holiday breaks etc. Not only that, because I was in such an environment where meeting somebody new was inevitable, I met like a gazillion people all the time and made life time connections. Working in this industry, I haven't even been able to maintain the connections I've made throughout my life much less make new ones. :( And this is why I call my after college life Social Death.

You know, I'm thankful for my job, but man is it mentally taxing! I can't even go to church. :( Sometimes I really wonder if I should stay at this job. I'm like, "God, is this really what you would have for my life? Really, what should I be learning on this journey that you've placed me on?" Don't get me wrong, I've been learning and trying my best to maintain what I've learned. I guess when I eventually learn these "lessons", I'll be able to move on with my life.

Until then, let the Social Death reign :(
