Welcome to my crisis

Dearest Universe,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for this little practical joke you have included me in. You got me good, I must admit. Some people might be confused or puzzled at your complete lack of concern for my mental well being, but I know better. I know its just your "unique" sense of humor. I mean if not for kicks and giggles, then why else would I be graduating at the height of recession and emerging into a failing job market? How can those people not see how hilarious that is??

Well, I guess not ha-ha-funny, but more like Rock-of-Love-Charm-School-funny. It might appear cruel to be pointing and laughing at the mascara stains, but ultimately I'll come out of this enlightened and eloquent... Much like Brandi C (fingers crossed).

I must admit, I didn't really get the joke at first. Sending resume after resume after resume to every (unpaid) internship opening posted on every help-wanted website out there in cyberspace can take its toll on a girl. It really wears on your funny bone. Do you know how many prostitution "gigs" are on craigslist? Because I do.

But I digress, I just wanted to write to express my appreciation for the silver lining that is the giant question mark hovering over my future. I have finely found the humor in the situation, thank god, because lets be honest here... these days if I'm not laughing, I'm crying. So once again, thank you for everything I have been blessed with.

Typing through the tears,
Amanda
