“I don't know what to do with my life... I don't know what I'm doing with my life, I feel so lost. Last year of my post-graduation and I'm still confused about what to do next, what i should do with my English literature degree? I need to get a job as soon as possible otherwise this guilt of not doing anything would kill me. But the thought of doing a 9 to 5 drains me to the core where I feel completely numb. I don't know how to stop feeling anxious all the time. I can't even name the reason of my suffering to the people close to me because it is so stupid. I don't know how to get out of this rabbit hole I created for myself. I want to enjoy my life too, but that's feels like a distant relative now. Would be grateful to hear any advice ;)”

Hey, stranger! I’ve been in a similar situation and honestly it took some time for it to pass. English literature is an amazing degree which can open so many opportunities for you! You don’t really need to be doing a 9-5, u can do freelance from home, so many people need tutoring as well, maybe take an extra qualification to be able to work with children as a teacher, or perhaps book editor. Some things take time, maybe u will need to start a 9-5 regardless. But who cares? Life can be awesome even with that kind of job! It really depends on how u set ur mind to it! I like to view jobs as something that can be enjoyable but not necessarily. Just get ur money and enjoy after work life.
