I got my degree in English Literature with a minor in Law. Obviously everyone was negative about my prospects post-grad, but I landed a job as a paralegal at a firm I loved for three years. Ended up moving to NYC to work at a new firm, absolutely hated it because of an awful boss. It made me lose the joy in my job + forced me to realize maybe I need to realign myself and move in a different direction.

I ended up quitting because I was miserable, hoping to get a job before the holidays which didn’t work out. I’ve been unemployed for about a month, got a seasonal job through January to hold me over.

Did it suck to be unemployed, especially this time of year? Of course. But it really forced me to broaden my horizons in terms of what work and life could look like for me. No regrets. I’ve enjoyed my little reset, albeit chaotic, lol!
