Post Uni Blues
Leaving university is a major life transition. It’s not simply the fact that life doesn’t revolve around lectures and essays any more. When you’re at uni, you get constant feedback on your work and you’re surrounded by a support network of friends and lecturers. The big wide world can seem less than inviting in comparison.
That’s what happened to Frankie, who studied philosophy. “I chose a course that interested me,” she says. “Employability came second but I felt proud of myself for doing it. When I started work, I grieved for my old lifestyle and the time I’d spent discovering myself as a person and expressing myself freely. I was doing a low-paid typing job and I felt I had no purpose.”
When you find yourself stroking your degree certificate after an eight-hour shift putting the heads on cotton buds, you can get quite low. Plus life gets more expensive when you leave uni and lose all those nice shiny discounts.
Feeling left behind
Psychology graduate Clare missed her friends when she left uni. “I went straight into temp working while waiting for a permanent job offer. There was no opportunity for regular meet-ups with friends and it almost immediately felt like we’d all moved on. It felt like starting my life all over again.” Clare says eCards has helped her keep in touch with her mates. “My friends and I are always using http://www.ecards.co.uk to send jokey cards when we are feeling a bit down, and we always make an effort to send birthday cards.”
