for background, i’m 17 and just got let go from my food service job. i’m about to graduate high school and have two months of summer break until i go traveling to see family for all of august. then in mid september, im moving across the state for college. i’ve also completed enough GE to graduate within two years or less with a bachelors degree and don’t know where i’ll go from there.
while i loved having a job to build up some savings, i realistically don’t need to scramble for a job for the two months i have left in my hometown since my parents are financially stable enough to confidently pay for my two year degree. they ensure me that i shouldn’t be stressing financially and that i have the entire rest of my life to work.
i’m very grateful to be in a position where i don’t need to worry about basic necessities. this will perhaps be the only opportunity i have left to have the privilege of choosing to work or not. i just feel so guilty for not working, even though i should just appreciate the privilege my parents gave me. i think i just need to get these thoughts out. i think i already know that i should enjoy it while it lasts. what would you have done if you were in my shoes? p.s. i feel pretty vulnerable ab this so plz be nice :/
