I just turned 20 and have one semester left then I graduate with my bachelors in October. Despite everyone I know already looking for a job, I dont feel ready yet. In fact, I honestly dont know if i like what ive been studying since I was 17 anymore....lol. I feel like my mind has gone to this clean slate where nothing seems interesting to me. Ive been wondering fuck should I have studied xyz instead etc

Im feeling A LOT of judgement and pressure from uni peers and parents to start looking as im nearly done but im so stressed.

Everyone is telling me the economy in Aus is fucked the cost of living crisis you might as well start working which I understand completely but then it goes back to my issue of me honestly not liking my degree at all anymore.

A lot of peers in my third year classes are all 22/23 and IK a 2 and 3 year age gap is literally nothing but I feel like I could do so much growing as a 20 year old within the next 2 years before I start working full time.

They also already have offers or chronically are trying to find work.

I just dont know how id grow after I graduate?? Travel? I dont have the funds. Post grad, to do what though??

Help.

Im 20(F) (just turned 20), have always dealt with SH and lingering suicidal thoughts although they have been more rampant the past two weeks. Im getting my bachelors this year in something really fckn useless and have been tormented by questions from peers and family about future plans and what jobs im looking for when ive contently been living the past 2/3 years with absolutelty no goal in mind. Nothing! Now, I have been hit with my reality that my life has 0 meaning. I honestly cheated my way through uni, graduted highscool at 17

Take a year off after grad: To do what? Sit at home although working my minimum wage casual job? Get laughed at and judged by peers for not landing a job?

Travel: I have no funds

Study post grad: Study what?

I have 0 interests so absolutely no idea what career to pivot to. I knew my degree was useless but I picked it as it is one of the basic ones and didnt think any others would suit me. I also just feel like im one of those people where no careers or jobs excite me. I also am someone who isnt necessarily talented or good at anything. I couldnt sit face to face with a career advisor and ask for direction because I dont know what I want nor what I dont want, I just dont understand how people have careers they want I dont get it. Even when I was at my happiest I srill had no idea. Now I feel like ive constantly been torturing myself, everyone has been telling me they have been landing internships etc. Say I even decided post grad for 2027, deadlines are soon, how am I supposed to know what to do

My degree is strategic comm + Dgitial and social media comm and none of that excites me, sometimes I wish I couldve done fckn accounting like any desk job doing mindless tasks all day or operational shit not what ive been learning at uni

Its too much for me and its all jsut a reminder of my stupidity in actions and carelness towards my life when the blow wasnt that bad cause I was younger and my inability towards anything great

Im a third year Communication majoring in Digital and Social Media with a minor in strategic communication student and did this course last year. It has been my favourite course at UTS so far. I loved discussing the adoption and rejection of technologies for social reasons and the impact of technology, ethical impacts etc. Does anyone know what jobs to look out for that are similar to this course? Or even post grad study options? Tysm.

I recently invited people to a house party for my 18th birthday. My entire friend group/best friends told me they cannot come as they agreed to go to another persons house party on the same date 2 weeks ago. I am putting a lot of money in (DJs, performers etc.). They are not close with this person AT ALL but this person is quite popular hence why they rather go to theres... :(

They told me its 50/50 but is it really? Doesnt the fact that I am closer to you guys give me more value?? Again they are not close with this person this person would not give a fuck or be offended if they said something came up and they couldnt come.

I am not friends with this person simply because I have never met them. This is as this person isnt in my social circle hence why we rarely see them and hence why its impossible for my friends to reasonably worry about not going to theres and for them to give a fuck if my friends didnt come.

Anyways I hit them up saying how I felt sad they were like ''its about being fair ''but you cant call it a 50/50 choice as I a close friend of years deserve your presense more than the other person. They were like we are sorry etc etc in a sobby voice. I hit them with a I know its because so and so is popular (like along those lines) and they were like no its really not its...I was like in cases like this who u said yes to doesnt matter they got defensive started raising their voice saying it obviously does if we told her, promised her got her excited about us coming!!! and shit like that

Also I understand how they said yes to them first but it took me time to clear my calendar in which this is the only date i can really use / why I didnt ask if people were available first. It also sucks cause I never really had close friends ever and late 2025 to now was the first time I felt appreciated then shit like this happens idk.
