You are owed nothing.

There are few things that make me crazier than a sense of entitlement. People that feel they are owed a damn thing just because they walk the earth make me nuts. Some folks have to work harder for it, and some have an easier road in life. But either way, you gotta earn it yourself. Having a degree does not guarantee you a job. And having a job does not guarantee you a career. And having a career does not guarantee you a debt-free stable lifestyle. You have to make smart decisions and put in effort on a daily basis to make your way in life. If we only did things we loved and worked only on days we felt good then nothing would get done. There is no Fairy Godmother following you around making your life exactly how you envisioned it and fixing your fuck-ups. Your life is what YOU make of it.  If you find yourself complaining about your life on a daily basis, you have to see that the common denominator here is YOU. And only YOU can be the one to change it.  Be accountable. Work hard. Eat your broccoli. Quit waiting for someone else to do it for you.
