Had I stuck out uni, I would graduate this year with a science degree and a law or arts degree.
I'm terrified. What if I spend the rest of my life as a secretary, sitting alone at home with my stuffed bear? What if I remain trapped int this struggle for money forever? What if I can never sleep properly again because I'm too busy sobbing for what I've lost? What if I live out this meagre existance as a half qualified, over qualified, inexperienced hack? Become the world's greatest extra. The universe's highest underachiever. The guinness book of records holder for the most things started but never completed. What do I do if I've already made the biggest mistake of my life???
I left uni because of the pressure I felt to constantly succeed. This is worse. What I am now forcing myself to do is worse. At least uni was easy. I got top marks without even attending classes. An IQ of something ridiculously high and I'm begging for a reception position. What's happened to me?
(No offence to those that do office work, it was just always expected that I would have the PA, not be one. It's not a job that occupies me happily.)
