I became homeless a few days ago. Losing track of time. It's been a year, year and a half after I graduated from college. Had to abandon my student loans.

I got nothing but the clothes on my back and my phone that I'm able to charge at a nearby library.​ I stink like all hell, but I have nowhere to shower. Oh well.

I can't get a job. Never have been able to. So I don't know what to do with my time. A day passing feels like an eternity.

I won't be able to live much longer. I feel bad for my dead ambitions, hopes and dreams...

I just said bye to my landlord earlier in the day. I found a bench that has Wi-Fi access, and bathroom access and even a public water fountain within a short walking distance. I'll be able to charge my phone at a public library a bit further away too whenever I'd need.

I nuked any social media accounts I had online like LinkedIn or Facebook. I don't have a phone number too. So I can't be contacted anymore.

I've been lying down here just staring at nothing for a few hours. This is my grave, my final resting place.

Here I am, stuck in unemployment a year and a half after college with a computer science degree.

I got no interviews. I'm about to be forever homeless in two days. There goes any chance at having a good life. Here I thought a bachelor's was going to help open doors. I'm being forced to abandon my student loans. I don't know who's going to be covering them.

I'm scared. I won't survive out there for long.

I won't be able to survive being homeless for long. I haven't had anything to eat for a week now. I've been relying on water.

I won't survive a year.

There is no more hope for me to get an entry level role, a useful one. If I went to college later in life only to graduate into these circumstances, I wouldn't even be alive today. Shit. It's no wonder why suicide rates have consistently skyrocketed year after year after 2008.

As George Carlin said, "The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it." It's a pipe dream for those not already well connected from birth.

Maybe I'll believe in it in the afterlife. I'll see. Or maybe I won't. Haha.

Of course I won't leave my body behind for my former landlord to clean up, that'd be inconsiderate. It'll be in a ditch somewhere. I have no assets and no money to seize to cover the costs of a burial and funeral, so I'll just be a carcass for animals to chew on until I'm nothing but bones. That's assuming they can identify me when I've never had a government ID.

Feels bad.

18-22: $0/hour during college. No internships, not by choice.

23: $17/hour delivering pizzas up until last week, $0/hour now

I'm homeless in six days and some change. I don't even have a phone number anymore. I likely won't be alive to see 2027, so my ambitions for starting and exploring careers don't matter anymore I suppose. Society will move on, society will move on... but I won't, but I won't...

Man. I'd be sad, but I was getting no use out of it. No application callbacks, no friends to text/call. It was a waste of money.

I wish I could've gotten a decent entry level role after college. Ah well. I haven't had anything to eat outside of water from a public water fountain for a few days now. Hunger pangs are starting to get to me. I have to accept that they're going to be with me for the rest of my life. However short that is.

I'm out of time to get a decent job. At least I got some use out of my degree using it as toilet paper

I've had sporadic meals these last 18-20 months after college. Worked 50 hours a week riding on a bike for about minimum wage, hoping it'd be temporary until I could get a better job. That never happened.

I used to appreciate every calorie I got. Knowing it would take me further. But there's no further path for me. I don't have any reason to keep going. I can't get a job anymore.

I'm going to be homeless in 9 days and some change. I sob every night knowing I might not be around for much longer. I wanted to live a fulfilling life. I wanted to work hard. I wanted to grow in a career. I had ambitions, I had goals.

It wasn't possible. I've accepted my fate now. I don't really have an appetite or want for food anymore.

Starting to train myself to live and sleep on an empty stomach. It's for the best. I've lost my appetite for food in general these days. I can't turn my life around anymore. I can't get an entry level role anymore.

Missed an s in the title

I've given up on getting a decent job anywhere. Hasn't happened for the last year and a half post grad. Don't have a car.

Can y'all recommend any outside benches I could sleep on that have a public bathroom nearby? Specific locations, if you know of any please.

edit: can y'all shut up and just answer the fucking question.

I'm going to be homeless in 11 days. Once I'm homeless I won't have an address to even put for job applications. So I won't be filling out any more. It was pointless to even try from the start.

I sob every night knowing I might not be around for much longer. I wanted to live a fulfilling life. I wanted to work hard. I wanted to grow in a career. I had ambitions, I had goals. I can learn on the job, I can contribute. I can show up, I can work hard, I can adapt.

I just can't pay for another round of schooling. Even if I did, it's likely the skills I'd learn there will become outdated after I graduate like what happened the first time with my comp sci degree. I've already used that thing as toilet paper. At least some use came out of it.

I'm abandoning my student loans. Instead of exploring careers, I'll be exploring the dark of night looking for a bench to sleep on, using my meager backpack as a pillow. It's over.

It wasn't possible.

I'm going to be homeless in a week or two. I never got a job that let me pay rent decently.

I was a computer science grad from 2025. I've moved on from that. I'm not looking for anything remotely related to it. It's been close to two years post grad with no job. I have essentially no internship experience.

I've been working a (close to) minimum wage job for this last year and a half, but it doesn't pay enough and there's no opportunity for better pay.

I can't afford another degree or trade school. I don't know what to do

I'm not interested in military/law enforcement.

I cannot fathom bringing a CHILD into this. I have no job years after my computer science degree, what the hell will they have?

Here I am, a computer science graduate on the verge of homelessness with no actual job a year and a half after graduation. I've just been a food delivery guy. I just used my college diploma as toilet paper because I can't afford anymore. I'll be homeless soon, so it won't matter soon.

I thought my 20s were supposed to be a time of exploration. Exploring careers, exploring adulthood, exploring life. Instead I'm exploring the dismal sleeping conditions of public benches. I don't know why I was brought into this world. It was a mistake.
