• I am in debt. When I was at school I always imagined that being in debt wouldn't be so bad, that it could never compare to the loneliness and anger I felt every day at school. But I was wrong. There is nothing worse than the earth-shattering realisation that you are now an adult, loaded down with debt, and that if you don't get a job within the next two weeks, you won't ever be able to get a loan, go back to university, or do any of the things you might possibly want to do. How can I get rid of my debt? Well, I could win the lottery. I've never played it though, and I'm not a particularly hopeful person so I'm not about to start. I've toyed with the idea of accumulating money through nefarious means, but I have no idea of how to go about doing that, and there are probably several people more experienced and more able than I am. So the only way for me to make any money is to get a job. My dad said he would pay me to rub down the paintwork he did in the shed today, so I'll probably do that tomorrow or sometime. I have an invitation to a job fair the day after tomorrow so I'll go to that with an air of desperation too. I've never understood before just how soul-crushing it is to be an adult. I wish I could go back to my childhood knowing what I know now, but, alas, it is too late.
