I was in the same boat and it's hard because once you start looking for a job everyone is going to be asking why you were sitting around after graduation, so unless you're continuing your education you should try finding job opportunities. I totally understand that having a ton of free time is awesome but it's probably going to come back to haunt you in the end, at least it did for me. That's something that killed me too, every company wants to see people applying who have experience, so nobody wants to hire people who have never worked before. I'm not going to lie, being able to stay up late every night and wake up late every day and basically just do whatever the heck I want whenever I want is one the greatest pleasures in life. But eventually that lifestyle is going to make you feel empty inside and you're going to want something more. Of course, not to mention that it was putting a tremendous burden on my parents to keep supporting me financially (living at home but still having student loans to pay off with no source of my own income) and I felt guilty after a while, like I felt the responsibility to do my share and carry my weight.
IIN to be in a "limbo" after graduating college?
