COVID-19 is such a killer. No, really. It's killing a drastic amount of people, but it's also a killer on the day-to-day lifestyle. I'm losing hours at work so it's a struggle to make the car payments. I feel that my job could shut down at any point and although I could apply for unemployment and my parents said they could pay for my car, I don't want to put that on them. Not only that mess of overthinking, but I can't drive to see my boyfriend so we sit on the phone to facetime, which frankly is not cutting it for me, but social distancing, you know? I'm still finding excuses to see him so I can leave the house for a bit. What do I have to lose? Probably my life, but "life is all about making mistakes and taking risks when you're young" said a customer when he walked into Subway.
I've been looking for new jobs, especially since I passed my Social Marketing certification. But me, an over-thinker, feels that I know what I'm doing, but to a certain extent. In a way, I don't feel ready, but I have to take risks. On the side, I enjoy not just social media, but cosmetology (hair, makeup, nails). As I was with my mom in the car, she had the idea for me to go to school and professionally learn. However, since I can run social media accounts pretty well, I could potentially start my own business and run my accounts for it. Not only is it something I enjoy doing, but I can run everything the way I want to and it lowers my college debt because it doesn't require me to have my general education done. Here comes the annoying part...
COVID-19 is preventing me from doing any of this right now. There's a job I found that I could have to make money while in school. I could run social media accounts for the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but due to the virus they closed down. They're still taking applications so maybe I should give it a shot. In the last two days, I've been told three times to apply for the dispatch job that's hiring. I thought to myself, "it makes more money and it's still close to home. But I'm hopefully moving to Monterey if the virus clears up, I can't get a new job and then leave after a month. Is this actually what I want to do?" At this rate, I'm being picky, a complainer, and an over-thinker, but what else is there to do during quarantine?
