My last day of school

When I'm in Poly, I tell myself that it’ll be great when I have a job and won’t be so oppressively poor the whole time. But what no one tells me is that the reverse is true; you’ll never be so rich again as when you’re a student.

My parents pay all my bills(which is a norm for a student),gave me allowance every week, then my mum gives me a little bit more money because she thinks I'm destitute, and soon enough I'm in HMV every Monday buying DVD boxsets so that I can feel justified in sitting at home and not going to lectures.

When you have a job, you’ll never have the time to do such decadent things again, and you’ll suddenly start getting hit by things like 'Tax’, rent, and just generally having to pay your own way. and all that money you thought you had earned? The government are gonna take loads of it before it even hits your bank account. And what’s more, you won’t end up with the dream job that you thought you’d walk into, like being a trendy photographer, a fashion designer, or being in a semi-successful band who earn just enough to get by but have heaps of street cred on the underground scene, or whatever the hell you do on your blog.

Instead, you’ll end up taking what you can get, like the majority of the graduates now, which will be a dull office job and you’ll spend all day e-mailing your friends and feeling happy with yourself when you take an extra five minutes over lunch. Getting a job really is the worst part of your life, and you will never come to terms with how soul - destroying it is.

I'll never allow myself to end up in a world like this. Alienation dehumanize people. 5 more months or more to enter the workforce. I cant retain my excitement, to be working what I want , to smell my own hard-earn money at the end of every month.
