Feeling defeated after I graduated from my dream school just to end up with nothing
2025.01.31 04:20 angrybird16755 Feeling defeated after I graduated from my dream school just to end up with nothing
I don’t know how many applications/CVs I’ve sent out, but I feel so defeated at this point. I graduated from my dream school with a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Data Science with hopes of getting into policy research or any role in public service. I was part of a public service fellowship, interned for my state as a legislative researcher and worked as a research apprentice for a year. I also have two years of volunteer experience, over four years of experience with Microsoft suite, two years of experience programming with Python/R and a certified typing speed of 80 WPM. I also graduated with a GPA of nearly 3.7.
Since I graduated in May 2024, I have only managed to get 9 interviews and no offers. I have applied to countless internships, fellowships, full time positions, no prior experience entry-level jobs, temporary/non-benefitted positions and part time work just to even get anything and nothing has worked out. Last week I had an interview for a part-time temporary position I was overqualified for with my city as an administrative assistant that went very well and today I got an email saying I’m not selected for further review and it sent me over the edge. On top of this, I haven’t even heard back from retail positions who don’t call me back regardless of if I dumb down my qualifications or omit my education.
It feels like everything is a numbers game where my odds of winning are 0%. Every time I interviewed, I was given false hope only for it to be crushed with either ghosting or a rejection with no explanation. Even with my references from the state and faculty I’ve worked with, I can’t get my foot into the door of any sort of employment. I can’t get unemployment because I have no paid work history (all of my experience is unpaid). I can’t afford to do unpaid work experience as I have virtually no savings after graduating. I also can’t afford to relocate as most job opportunities outside of my area don’t pay nearly enough to live where they’re based.
Worst of all, without a job I can’t have any hopes of moving out of my family’s house who constantly berate me for not having a job by now with my qualifications, on top of this putting a strain on my relationship as I’m still closeted and can’t have any hopes of coming out to my family until I can be self-sustainable.
I have applied to jobs in every related industry I could think of: legislative support, policy research, think tanks, county/state work, education, administrative support/clerical work, professional fellowships, research internships, nonprofit work, data entry and community outreach. I’m looking into working with a temporary agency my mentor from my state internship recommended me to apply to in a coffee chat last week. I’m also considering working as a substitute teacher, but I can’t even afford the fees to get a live scan because I haven’t worked in 8 months and my parents don’t seem too thrilled to pay the expenses.
I feel so lost and I just needed to air out my frustrations and look for words of comfort from anyone. I’m so tired of job searching, and with the potential cuts to federal jobs I’m scared of the job market for my field becoming even worse because of the impending influx of government employees trying to find work. I’m going to have a coffee chat with the director of my state internship tomorrow to hopefully get some advice too, but I have little hope at this point. Thank you if you stuck out this long in my rant and I hope you’re having a better time with job searching than me ❤️

2025.01.31 04:20 CommunicationSad6813 I sabotaged myself beyond belief. I never realized I didn’t believe Im worthy of love till now. It took me hurting someone to face myself and I’m disgusted with myself
I met my LG partner over the past weekend and completely blew it. The first night together I blurted out how I’m unsure if my goal was to be in a relationship and that I want to take this super slow.
This was obviously a whiplash statement to hear and it ruined our entire vacation. It ended with him feeling super hurt and wanting to slow down on how often we spoke, he said he’ll reach out when he’s ready.
I’m just so appalled at how badly I messed this up. I was so happy and giddy about this when we first started talking and then I had all these doubts about me not being ready for this, I didn’t have enough of a single-by-myself era before meeting him, it’s too soon after my ex etc etc. I thought I had silenced those thoughts for good and they came tumbling back the week before are met, resulting in me thinking maybe I don’t want this.
Now that we aren’t speaking and I’m thinking about how badly I hurt this person I love and the consequences of it (him no longer being in my life) I’m just so shocked at what I did. I can’t understand a single thing I did. I feel like everything happened so fucking fast. I cannot believed I hurt and ruined what feels like the first and only person that has ever been truly caring and understanding and honest and real with me. He believed in me more than I believed in myself sometimes. It was everything I wanted out of a person but it also horrified me and felt like too much, i didn’t feel like I could live up to that or match that and I felt like that would have revealed itself in person and we woulda ended up in a awkward situation. I tried to control it and avoid the bad but I just ended up creating a shit storm.
I know I can’t do anything to change this. The ball is in his court and I cannot ask anything of him. I know I have to focus on loving myself, learning how to feel worthy of love before I can ever date again but I’m just so upset at how badly I handled it.
I can’t help but feel such shame and guilt for how I went about it. I ruined his trip, I hurt his heart so bad and for what? Because I was fucking scared? Bc I was anxious? I let all that shit take me over and I blacked out and ruined a really good thing in my life. A good thing that came at such a pivotal point and saved me from a dark place. I miss him so much already and it’ll only been a day. It’s hitting me so much harder now that it’s night.
Is there any way I can come back from this? Is there any way to stop feeling this way? I’ve accepted that I might have lost him forever as a romantic partner but God, id do anything to be in his life on any level. He inspired me every day to be better and do better and think positively. I feel like I just stuck myself back into that dark hole I was finally coming out of when I met him and it feels so much scarier this time because I am the bad guy. It’s so easy to beat yourself down, I’m good at it and I fear it’ll get worst simply bc I know I actively am the reason as to why my favorite person is no longer speaking to me.

2025.01.31 04:20 tracie789 12 DPO | CD (unknown)
 | Hi! So those are both unedited pictures of my pregnancy test I took this morning, first one is without flash, second one is with the flash on. I had my IUD removed a month ago during my period and had unprotected sex around 12 days ago (pull out method......). 3 minutes after I took the test there was no line, I put it away. I then peaked at my test 30 minutes later, and there was this faint pink line. It is not colourless. I'm confused. Am I pregnant? Should I take into account the result? I'm supposed to be on my period right now and am not yet. I had light spotting like a week ago no more than a day, but nothing more and I have no other symptoms. submitted by tracie789 to TFABLinePorn [link] [comments] |

Hi all! Brand new here, and to sourdough starter. My starter is (or was) two days old, and when I was doing the deep info dive on google to flood my brain with sourdough knowledge, I saw something about not using chlorinated water. I've been using that in my starter since I began... Do I need to toss it and restart it? Thanks!

2025.01.31 04:20 Loser_gmas Does life feel unfair to you too?
I recently turned down a huge opportunity for me career wise that would involve around 2 years of schooling because spending another minute listening to someone scrape a bowl, or chew gum (or watch them chew gum), or sip an energy drink like its 190 degree soup, etc would make me insane. It makes me feel so bad because a lot of people were hoping for me to go down this route, and I feel now that denying it because of something outside of my control just doesn't feel fair to me or them. Like how can I explain to them that everytime I see someone's mouth move because they're chewing gum I am no joke deciding on ending my career or letting it slide??? I just hate how many different ways misophonia maintains it's grip on me and gets a little tighter everyday. I just want to be more normal or something, anything. I can go on and on, things are not looking good for me in a lot of ways. I do not desire sympathy, I want solutions, a cure, anything to make these problems stop.

2025.01.31 04:20 Primary-News2556 Rant : Pyscopath ex manager and coworkers
Over the years about 3 or 4 I've had to deal with a extremely psychopathic ex boss who questionably may be is a serial killer via witchcraft and another psychopathic ex coworker who have been making my life pretty hell after only knowing them for LITTERALY a few months. I've had to deal with workplace bullying , harrasment, sabotage, favoritism, anything you can name in one setting at 1 company including some of the most illegal stuff that could happen to someone in a workplace (felony level).
I worked in the IT department at a biosecience company within in month and a half I ended up getting a new manager who was and still to this day and very moment a nightmare who i just issued a cease and desist after years and i mean years of harrasment. The coworker on the other hand had been known at the company as a nuance who had issues with coworkers and employees before.
I ended up taking the job with the assumption I had a completely different manager at a decent company to shortly realizing extreme internal issues I'm dealing with today but i no longer work there. The company gave off cult vibes I brushed off as being new but people can only show there true colors for so long.
Pretty much long story short management was terrible and felt like I would do better elsewhere since the company seems to have let the bad behavior go on for a little to long and I mean decades resulting in them covering up each other's illegal activites which I unfortunately have to deal with today.
Because I am aware of the environment of the place and the nature of some of Conduct they partake in and how they cover for each other... taking legal action is considered a threat to them. It's been about 3 years years since I've worked there and prior to my departure what happened was honestly pointless but my psychopathic ex manger that now taking legal action on seem to only wanted to do out of spite.. to be continued
