23 years old

Year 23 seems to be the ugliest of ages, blink 182 once said in that song What's My Age Again "Nobudy likes you when your 23". Blink 182 was right. In this current age, a 23 year old college grad seems to be one of the following: UNEMPLOYED, An office GRUNT, or in Grad school.

It is completely normal to not know what you want to do with your life at age 23, I don't. We the Unemployed 23 year olds are doing alot of inner searching in order to find out what we will be happy devoting our lives to. It is not easy to be unemployed, people look at you different. People think you are lazy, but you are not. People think you don't care about anything, but you really care too much about everything. People think you are destined for failure, but you know you will succeed(just not sure in what lol).

Those of us 23 year olds that do in fact have a "carreer", are those whom I like to call: office grunts. The office grunt is the entry level guy/gal at the office doing all of the heaviest work receiving the lightest pay. Being the office grunt is comparable to being a freshman in highschool, all of the big kids don't respect you and could careless of your existence as they have "already proven themselves". Grunts are mistreated all across America. Being a Grunt can also be compared to fraternity hazing. Grunts must go through hell(the year or years of being entry-level) in order to fully appreciate heaven(promotion in the company which includes higher pay and further job securtiy). The office grunt holds on to sanity by maintaining the thought that hard work and dedication pays off.

A certain sect of the 23 year old congregation falls into a far different category, the Grad school student. The Grad is one who is still in school. The Grad pushes his/her education further in order to become a more important person(in their own eyes). The Grad school student thinks that his/her further degree will help them get a better job. Grads are usually very scared people and are frieghtened of the real world as some of them have never even held a REAL job. Being a Grad is not all that great in that one still may be relying on their parents for $$$, and is still just looked upon as a student.

The purpose of this blog is to gain insight into the world of a 23 year old. As a 23 year old myself, readers may gain insight into my thoughts and suggestions.
