The Blunt Truth

The blunt truth is I need a job. 

I need a job because I can't spend my whole summer vacation staring at the ceiling thinking of what to do to kill time. I need a job because I need the Canadian experience which will help me professionally. I need a job because I can't always be too dependent on my parents. I need a job because I want and I need to earn. The blunt truth is I need a job because of the money.

I want to find a job soon because time is running out and before I know it, I will be back in school drowning in 5 courses worth of workload. I want to find a job soon because hours are wasting and I could be spending those hours earning at least $10.25. I have already done the math. If I find a job soon, I will be able to earn a not-that-bad amount of money then I can buy that expensive lamp I want or those plugs that cost $46 a piece or put it in the bank so I can start earning.

I am lucky that my parents are paying for school and here in Canada, that is sort of a big deal. They aren't pushing me to get a job but I am not so fond of the idea that I am unemployed when I can be working at a retail shop or maybe as a photographer or graphic designer once again.

Although I am sort of in a complex situation where (being too hard on myself in thoughts) might make me regret the decisions I am making. But I am thinking long-term. It's going to be okay.

It is going to be okay.

The blunt truth is I am going to be okay.
