“I got a Degree In The Written Arts, which is the most pretentious way of saying ‘English’ that my school could think of.  Two internships later, I’m still working at a restaurant.  I finally had an actual job interview last week.  The website said ‘big marketing firm,’ but the whole office fit in a closet.  Then I found out the job was ‘commission only.’  So I’m beginning to doubt that there’s a palpable job market in The Written Arts.  And I’m going to be paying off this education for the next ten years.  I’m bracing for the worst.  I feel like somebody who just realized that global warming is actually a thing.  It doesn’t help that my entire apartment is falling apart.  Our fridge broke down last week and we lost $120 worth of food.  Now my roommates are mad at me because I fumbled the negotiation with our landlord.  And to top it all off, my toilet overflowed this morning, with absolutely nothing to deserve it.  I just called my Mom for advice.  She recommended that I take a walk.  I was hoping she’d tell me that the water would go back in the toilet.  Either literally or metaphorically.”
