Dear Journal,
This morning has been rough. My parents got onto me because I'm not, and this is in their eyes, not "actively searching" for a job. You don't know what I do when I'm outside the house. You don't know what I do when I'm in my room. Then they started complaining how I need to tell them when I applied, where I applied too, have I called them back yet, have I gone to the location to check on my status. They are helicopter parents and I hate it. I don't need to tell them everything I do! In my eyes, this is my first step of being independent from them and they don't like it. This also makes me think I'm not good enough or I don't, and won't, ever meet their expectations. Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant. I also know a lot of people don't read these any more. I think I'm just gonna stop writing these. Why does anybody need to care about my problems when they've probably got their own. I'm done. This is my last entry.
