This fall will be the first time in 19 years...
that I have not started a new year of school. From 1987-2000, I was in elementary and high school. Then in 2000-2005, I had college to look forward to in the fall. Now, I have nothing. Just a job with no new beginnings.

I think I'm going to be depressed. :(

1. Don't look at it like that...
think of it as an extended vacation (minus the sucky job). Maybe take some classes at night to get your learning "fix". I felt the way you do when I graduated from college, but I learned to enjoy different things. Saw some new places, met new people with the extra time I had on my hands. Chin up!

3. I liked school.
To be quite honest, I wouldn't mind being in school for the rest of my life. I'm a geek like that.

I hate my job. Nothing to look forward to. Just the same old crap day after day.

9. I loved school, too.
Studying for my GRE right now and can't wait to go back. My roommate and I always joked that the perfect life would involve being in school 'til the day we died.

10. I would love to have the "Van Wilder" lifestyle.
That would make me happy.
