So Im going to graduate college soon, and i'm tired. Im not ecxited, quite the opposite. I realize Im going to enter the real world, a battlefield slaughterfest of folks trying to find decent jobs. My major is not profitable, a B.A in cognitive science, and I'm sure Im going to end up moving back home, and working at a burger joint/retail for the rest of my days. My GPA sucks and I have no chance of grad school. I have no friends at my college, so I won't be missed when I go. Never been in a relationship and can't see myself in one..Im just tired. I kind of want to wrap up my life and go. There are a few things I think I can do that I haven't gotten to do. These things should be relatively easy to do (except sex) which will be the most difficult for me. I realize this post might be breaking some rules, but I honestly have no one else to say this to. Thanks for reading.

As you probably know big life changes can be particularly stressful. A lot of young people move back in with their parents before they find work. I know when I graduated college the majority of my friends did move home. And it is true, you may not find work in your field right away but that does not mean you won't find work. And graduate school has different requirements than undergrad. They look for more than just GPA and GRE scores. You may find you are more attractive to them after having been in the real world a bit.

I know this does not address your primary concern. I am sorry you are feeling this low and I really hope this helps somehow.

Hi. First of all, congratulations on finishing. That's a huge accomplishment. I know because I hated college too. I would invite you to view your experience a little differently. Higher education is not a trade school. It's education. It's great if you come out as a (fill in the blank), but if that doesn't happen for you, it's okay.
As Curupira says, I think most graduates have to move home....But it's a great way to save a little money.

I am sorry that your depression is getting the better of you and telling you things that are not true. Please remember that the future has many wonderful things in store for you.

I'm feeling the same way as you right now, although I've always lived home so that doesn't upset me. I've graduated college and I have a good six months before grad schools starts and I only have a part time job so I feel like such a loser. I'm so used to doing stuff, having school work to do and writing papers. I love that stuff and now here I am with endless days off and I hate.
I hope you can find a good way to occupy your time. I think you should consider grad school if you want keep pursuing education and get a decent job.

Like Curupira said, they don't just look at GPA!

Yes, since I was in middle school the thought of getting out alone in the real world frighten me. I have any skills beside studying, maybe I don't have either this.
Maybe you have to see it on the good side, you are about to finish college, college is hard stuff at least from my experience. I'm trying to guess if I could finish myself. So congrats, I think, even you don't feel excited about it.
They say life is too short, well for some it may be, for others it may be to long. Batling everyday is not the finniest way to live. Being alone and have no friends is terrible, I have been pull myself apart from college academic activities because I found me a outsider more and more, I have no friends to, and I really think I'm the only person in my year in that situation, so I feel like a real akward person. Talking to those and that and then hiding from them in order to not have to do it again... get somehow close and after then just feeling distant, and as the time pass more distanct. Actually I'm thinking in skipping the graduating cerimonies if I get their because I have no one to write on my caricature or to walk with in the parade (tradition in my country), I don't have anyone to take pictures with and remember the great times. And even so the people I had been with don't know me at all... I don't know me, but I know they have a completly misslead idea about me. You're not the only one.
But I was saying, just wait, life is longer then they say...Your is in front of you. I don't know you have help or no, but if you haven't you should...because it is what makes me believe that maybe until the time that left me to get in the real world things get diferent to me. Believe in yourself.
