The situation right now is that I have so much fun being a *fun-unemployed for almost 19 days. After you got your diploma, you
living back with your parents, rolling over on your bed and suddenly, your
brain and your heart (maybe your parents, too) cannot stop
telling reminding you, to “get a job, get a job, get a job”.
I know guys how are
you feeling right now, I completely understand. Right after I’m graduating
from college, I told myself to get a job immediately. But we’re also knowing
that finding a job (that you really want) is never easy. Keep telling yourself
to get a job is only torturing you, giving you a pressure. One of my favorite friend
said to me that it’s completely normal to enjoy your unemployed-period after
devoted yourself in class for many years. So, instead of distressing yourself, why not to fill your post-grad
time to do something fun, something new, something challenging!
Here you go, best 3 tips to do for fresh-graduates, of course based on my personal experiences:
1. Do something you
really really love, seriously.
This is very
classic, but it helps my unemployed period productive. In my last semester, I'd lost my chance to blog regularly. The ideas
were ‘buried’ in my notebook, just like that. Professional people that I know
had said, "never let your ideas die". After some encouragements from some good
friends, I made a promise with myself to start blogging again and let the ideas
happen. You know, ideas just ideas when you do nothing on them. So, you love
swimming? You love baking? You love playing guitar? Just do it. You never know
what will you pursue after it, surprise yourself!
2. Try to discover a new hobby.
Or an activity, or
something.
My regular hobbies
are (always) reading, watch movies and writing. Speaking the truth, I’m getting
bored. However, I should find a new hobby. I always
wanted to experience running at the beach. Lucky me, since I moved to Bali, I got that chance. I have my favorite beach
already—where I can sip my banana smoothie first, then run, then sip it again. I’ve done this for two times in a week and I’m so excited. If you don’t have any
idea about finding a new one, go Googling or just step out of your door. It might help.
3. Spend more
quality time with your family.
I live with my
family and I loveee spending time with them. Make a plan to do something with
your family members. Go cooking with your mom, go watching Running Man with
your brothers (yes, we do this almost everytime recently), go drinking black coffee with your
dad and the list goes on. Your family is your first best friend, go spend more time with them. Trust me it would be so much fun.
Well, these all my version of
best three tips for fresh graduates and I believe you guys have some more. Why
you don’t share with us here in a comment below, if you a recent college grad
of course, I would loveee to read it. And for a reference, this is my favorite
one, “21 Reasons It’s Okay to be Unemployed Right After Graduating College”. Have fun and stay
awesome!
