The Unemployment Saga

March 18, 2025

Well, I neglected this website for about a month. That's completely on me. Being unemployed, it's boring. I've spent an amount of time applying to jobs, and more often than not, hearing nothing back. Since I no longer have a source of income, I had a part-time campus job, I'm not spending what little money I have. So I hardly step outside these days! Is this bad for my emotional state and general well-being, probably.

That's not to say I don't leave the house. I had recently gone to Round 1 Arcade with some of my buddies. It was a good time, playing rhythm games, and getting screwed over by claw machines because I wanted the random plush that I thought was cute.

I thought this was worth sharing

Though when I do stay home, I'm largely doing the same beat of Leetcode so my programming skills don't get worse, thinking of a about full stack project to tackle, thinking about working on a game demo I made back in November for a Hackathon, thinking about voice training, and playing either Balatro or Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers.

Hopefully I can pick myself up from whatever this state I'm in is called. So I can get a job sooner rather than later, or at least go back to doing the cool stuff I attempted, like making a Linux rice. If you read this far, thanks and have a nice day :3
