What do I do now? I’ve worked hard for 4 years I’ve planned so I wouldn’t be back at home with my parents, so I could start my adventure and the life I’ve dreamed and prepared for, but now my job is “not essential ” so it doesn’t exist right now. I can’t apply anywhere else because my degree is not essential. The places I wanted to go are all closed. So I have to put my life on hold bumming at my parents house with no job. My boyfriend and I were supposed to get married once my adventure was over, now I have to tell him to wait a while longer, “how much longer?” I don’t know. I don’t know how long this will go on or how many people we will lose, how the economy will recover or people looking at you (“do you have it?”). I know it will end. How it will end or what’s on the other side I don’t know, but I know it will end. Until then what do I do now?
