Re: How did you deal with life after college?
[ QUOTE ]
Maybe I am in the minority, but I have entered some pretty bad depression since graduating in May. I had a pretty active social life in school, and was always trying to have fun... plus obviously the girls were available.
Since school has ended, I've realized that my friends have moved to different parts of the country, my on again off again girlfriend has broken my heart yet again, I'm in a job that allows me to do nothing but think about how sad I am from the break up. I'm still living at home, as I am in debt to my parents for lawyer fees (another story), and I have to pay them back and THEN begin saving for a place.
All in all, [censored] ain't great, and there is nobody even at work that is my age who I could meet, no girls, nothing.
Has anybody else gone thru anything like this that could shed some light on what I should do? I feel like [censored].

I felt the same way. I was depressed for quite sometime. As a minority myself, it was weird working with so few people of my ethnicity. I feel the best things to do are join groups, ABLE among others that include diversities. I feel the rest takes adjusting to. Now after nearly two years I am happy with my job. It is also nice to be financially independent. My best advice is give it some time and put a lot of effort into your carrer. I feel setting high career goals helps you get past. I dont think there will ever be another time like college, I was blessed to have it, now its my duty to work hard and return the favor to my children. Good luck.....
