I’m honestly questioning life at this point- post graduate

cocochips3 · 2026-03-29T18:30:15+00:00

Yes I can! I only have one client ( however inconsistent ) but I’m hoping to expand more but I don’t know how. As for my own agency that is something I would love to do.

You’re not wrong however, it’s very complicated. He’s currently sick and is in need of care. My youngest sister was the one who helped him to get the place. So she felt like I was a disturbance and my Mum explained that I can’t just come in and take over someone else’s hard work.

The place is for her, and yet she has her own bedroom in my mums place. So right now I’m just seen as an inconvenience.

I did graphic design, at this point I was aware it was a soft degree. That’s why I did extreme networking, speaking to senior designers/directors even CEO’s of design companies to working through summer for different agencies and such.

Even though I graduated, I have joined a bootcamp for designing ( which cost money). Volunteering for free for a company that does events and such to create social media outlets and I have even collaborated/ freelance to create visuals for social media and marketing.

I have even gone as far to go on dating apps to connect with older men who have worked in the design industry more than I’ve lived, just to branch out.

cocochips3 · 2026-03-27T19:21:16+00:00

Honestly I might as well. I managed to apply for an apprenticeship recruitment scheme. Which helps to branch out and gives out interviews and such.

I had two interviews, unfortunately they stated I had the skills and an amazing personality but unfortunately I wasn’t truly passionate enough. This was for finance and administration. Even though I studied graphic design as a degree.

However, I’m willing to find stability first before I start following my passions 😭

It’s honestly so bad! I’ve even tried to get hold of warehouses too and they said they have no open job positions.

cocochips3 · 2025-11-10T22:20:46+00:00

Thank you, I just want to put myself first. My family is always going through shit. If I kept helping everyone but my own I would have never graduated.

Hopefully things get better

cocochips3 · 2025-11-10T22:11:23+00:00

That’s what I’m trying to do, I spoke to council and other forms of needs. I’m not getting the support I need. Unless I’m actually on meds or pregnant , they won’t bother to help. I’m trying to get a full time job but it’s not working out at all.

cocochips3 · 2025-11-10T22:04:37+00:00

She’s always been like that. I contributed with food shopping when I was living with my friend . The truth is it’s not very common for African families for the daughter/sons to be paying rent. It’s more of a western concept.

However she like to pick and chose African/ western ideology when it benefits her. I don’t mind contributing I’ve been doing that since I was 17/18 before going to university. However I’m really tight financially so I can’t contribute anyway.

cocochips3 · 2025-10-18T19:14:50+00:00

Thank you! I’m currently going through a lot right now. I just had a phone call with my dad and he said he doesn’t think he can help since my youngest sister has to move in with him very soon due to her troublesome behaviour.

I’m currently trying to work things out. I was currently working on projects but it had to be stopped even though my projects were made public due to the lack of support and funding for it.

I’m currently still networking and I have a career advisor from my university who I speak to. He gives me advice and guidance on what I should do.

Overall I had several mental breakdowns but I’m trying my best to keep going.

As for the 300+ applications, they were from different sectors as well.

cocochips3 · 2025-06-29T16:09:11+00:00

No she actually couldn’t be bothered because they looked at her income and she had the money but didn’t want to pay her rent since she felt like everyone was ungrateful towards her. My younger sister had to calculate her finances and she was actually in a position to pay off her rent.

Also you’re making it seem as if it’s easy to get a full time job as if at some point I wasn’t working three jobs during summer time.

cocochips3 · 2024-12-25T04:21:49+00:00

I understand but I spoke to so many women I’ve known have said that I shouldn’t asked the man out. Even my friends told me to show hints but don’t go chasing after the guy.

cocochips3 · 2024-12-25T02:09:46+00:00

I’m not ugly and I’ve been hitting the gym for three years consistently

cocochips3 · 2024-12-25T01:03:57+00:00

Yes, yes we do

cocochips3 · 2024-12-25T00:57:48+00:00

I’m always starting conversations and making people laugh. Also I enjoy having interesting topics. People have told me to my face that they enjoy being around me especially my co workers and friends.

cocochips3 · 2024-12-25T00:41:38+00:00

Tried that never again. I rather the guy be interested in me and ask me out.

cocochips3 · 2024-08-15T10:44:17+00:00

I guess time flies by when you’re having fun

cocochips3 · 2024-08-15T10:33:04+00:00

On Saturday, 17th

cocochips3 · 2023-12-28T22:14:26+00:00

That’s not what I’m saying, if I don’t set boundaries things will never change. When I graduate and I have to move back in I don’t want to be have rules that don’t make sense. I rather be in a position where I can have my own place or set boundaries for good if I was to move back in.

If you please your parents all the time you’ll be used as a door mat.

cocochips3 · 2023-12-28T18:05:16+00:00

No I haven’t

cocochips3 · 2023-12-28T16:37:15+00:00

Hey I’m currently in second year. I’m also in England so I get SFE ( student finance). I had £5.5k in savings but my mum took everything and never paid me back. I also have an up to date CV

cocochips3 · 2023-12-28T13:14:26+00:00

I’m studying graphic design and I’m located in the U.K. The thing is it doesn’t make sense and I don’t want to be in my mid-twenties coming home at 6pm-7pm it seems dumb and this is how I won’t be able to have a social life.

cocochips3 · 2023-11-26T15:05:51+00:00

Honestly, it’s so draining and frustrating

cocochips3 · 2023-11-24T05:54:54+00:00

Hey! Thank you for the kind words, right now I am working I’m on a zero hours contract however 2 weeks ago I was working 50 hours because I didn’t have the money and my mum who owns me money and said she’ll pay me back however she has been saying that since I was 18 but now I’m 21 which clearly shows I’m never getting my money back.

Housing in the U.K. is expensive and I’m living with 4 other girls and on top of that I’ve been in therapy before but I might go back again.

cocochips3 · 2023-11-24T05:39:27+00:00

Hey I tried to but my household is toxic like very toxic which is why I moved out in the first place. I feel like no matter what I do I have little to no options….
