I graduated with a bachelors degree in communications during covid.. no internships were really available within my network and I couldn’t secure a job in PR or marketing even though I exhausted every resource applying. I took a random job for about a year and since then it has been YEARS of job hopping, and trying to get closer to my goal of a job in PR or marketing.

I have tried to apply for internships, entry level, etc. and every time I make it to the final round but someone with more experience always wins in the end.

I’m losing my mind at this point. I’m sick of random jobs and I’m so sick of being undervalued. What do I do? Conventions? Recruiters? Job coach? Masters degree? I am so sick of being told no and I’m so sick of onboarding for random jobs knowing I don’t really intend to stick around.

I know the job market is a mess but I just need ONE person or company or SOMETHING to give me a small chance. Money doesn’t matter atp and experience is the only thing I’m seeking.

I’m 25 now and feel sad, empty, and desperate. I even have multiple major cities that I could easily live and apply in (Chicago, DC, NYC) but it doesn’t seem to change anything.

I just took another completely random job and I feel so defeated going back to square one.

Any advice would greatly help I’m so done crying over this and would like to make a leap in the right direction for once.

I have a solo date tomorrow and I wanted to watch the fireworks by navy pier. I’ve looked at some bars near the area as well as Miru- curious if anyone has any thoughts!!

I would like a spot where I can grab a drink or some dinner (doesn’t have to be the same spot for the fireworks.. but it would be helpful)

Thank you!!!

Hello people of NWI. I am relocating for probably the next year to Illinois on the border of indiana (literally like 5 minutes-not going to say exactly where). I spend most of my time in the area and would like to look for work while I am here. And yes I know it is a range but I already drive about an hour for work but am truly best suited for this sub because I would easily drive anywhere within said range.

I have a degree in communications and would mostly be looking for something in communications/marketing but would 100% settle for a receptionist or assistant role somewhere.

However, sites like indeed really only point me to the Chicago area.

Does anyone know of places hiring or can someone let me know what sites you guys use to look for work?

Thank you!

I can’t tell if I am being dramatic or not. Something strange happens when I’m at my grandmother’s house. My aunt passed away inside of the house a few years ago and a few months ago I finally went back to start cleaning out her house.

I was feeling really overwhelmed going through my grandma’s jewelry and started to cry. I went into the kitchen to take a moment and the lights started flickering uncontrollably. I suddenly felt a sense of calm and stopped crying almost immediately. This happened a few more times throughout my stay (mostly when discussing my grandmother and aunt and the lights would go CRAZY whenever I started to get emotional). At any other time, the lights didn’t do anything and even during a severe thunderstorm, they stayed on without flickering. A little more info- she passed away in the bathroom next to the kitchen.

Her room also smells like her perfume at random even though I would be the only one in there and never sprayed it.

I’m supposed to stay there for a few months but tbh, it is kind of scary!! Is she unable to rest? I know she wasn’t ready to go so idk if I am projecting her feelings she felt when she was alive or if it could be something more.

Am I being unreasonable?? Is there something I should do? Should I buy an ouija board? Sorry if this sounds stupid it was just kind of crazy and I don’t know how to explain these small things.

I think my grandma’s house is haunted!!

My aunt died a few years ago in the house and I finally had the courage to go back a few months ago to help clean it out.

While I’ve been there, some weird stuff has happened. To start, when I started to clean out my grandmother’s room, I started to cry because it was a lot for me. I went into the kitchen to take a moment and the lights started to flicker uncontrollably! Then I felt a light sense of calming and stopped crying. Right after this, the lights stopped. I also have to add, she passed away in the bathroom next to the kitchen.

If we discuss her or my grandma in the kitchen, the lights start flickering!! The weirdest part is we had a severe thunderstorm while I was there and the lights didn’t do anything all night.

I also frequently smell her perfume in her bedroom despite no one spraying it.

I haven’t seen anything, my mother swears she’s heard her laughing so I don’t know.

She died pretty young (late 30s) and I know she was not ready to go. Should I do something? A spiritual cleanse for the house? Ouija board? Am I being dramatic? Please let me know what you guys think.

We are considering selling the house… idk how that fits in to all of this either.

I drive through New Jersey pretty frequently and I have to say y’all have some of the most violent drivers around.

Today I had a 4 hour road trip doing my usual route. While passing through NJ some woman was going 40 in the left lane (speed limit 65 mph) and speeding up when people tried to go around. I was in front and kept seeing her almost rear end me.

There was a mini van that she kept closing the gap on so I lightly braked so they could just get in front of me. Tbh, I was afraid they were going to crash into me and the middle lane wasn’t really moving so it was easier all around.

I guess the slow lady didn’t like that bc she instantly swung around into the middle lane and tried to get back into my lane in front of me!! At that point, I had no space and had sped back up- did that stop her? Of course not!! She started ramming her car into my lane and almost hit me.

As I slammed my brakes, hit the horn, and swerved, the guy in the car next to me stuck his finger out the window to say wait a second and put his turning signal on. It was just a silver ford so I was confused but I was also literally about to call the police so I slowed down and let him in.

He immediately flipped on the good old red and blue lights and pulled her over. Sometimes cops really are in the right place at the right time 😂 I love that you guys have cops everywhere because damn there is some bad road rage here!!

Can anyone tell me where I can get fried cheese balls? I have had them the last 2 years I have visited curacao. I came here with my boyfriend and he is dying to try them.

However, both of the places I usually get them completely changed their menus!!! We are devastated. They are little fried balls of deliciousness (maybe Gouda?)

If anyone can lmk where to get some I will be forever grateful.

Thank you!!
