Finished college and bored

skinny_guy

Hi everyone,

I have finished my degree in college and I have no idea what I want to do now. I find myself wasting my days doing absolutely nothing and I feel quite miserable. I barely leave the house cause I do not have anywhere to go. A lot of my friends are busy doing their own thing either working or doing their own hobbies. The only hobby I really have is going to the gym but that would only get me out of the house for 2 hours or so. I look outside and the day is so nice and I end up spending it inside. I find it very hard to push myself to get outside the house.

I decided it would be good to start applying for jobs but it seems quite difficult. A lot of the applications (even for grad positions) require a lot of experience that I do not have. They ask for people with a 1.1 degree or 2.1 and although I have not gotten results I dont believe I have achieved this mark. Another worry I have is my poor communication skills. I do not believe that anyone would want to hire me due to my anxiety problems.

Any advise regarding these issues would be helpful.

Apart from saying look for a job, there are plenty of charities who would love to have you for a few hours a week.

Volunteering would help with your communication skills.
Nothing like helping others to take us out of ourselves and give a day some purpose.
Continue going to the gym, exercise is great, and you could apply for a range of jobs. They dont have to be related to your course, just to get you started.

Good luck
