I just graduated from college about a month ago, and it has been affecting me a lot more than I realized. I feel bad complaining because I was very lucky to get a good job two weeks after I graduated. I did several internships to prepare myself for the world world, including working 35 hours a week, 4 full days a week for the past six months at an internship that I absolutely loved.
I started my permanent position three weeks ago, and I thought I'd be fine working full nine hours a day five days a week, but it has left me totally depressed. The job is so boring, I feel like I stare at a cubicle wall all day and count the moments. Its summer time, and all I want to do is be like my friends, and take vacations, and go to weddings, and go home, where I haven't been since last Christmas. The thought of getting up tomorrow only to be bored for another week straight seems so depressing and pointless. What can I do to accept my new life and be excited about it?
