Last Thoughts on My Last Day

Today was my last day at the Kokomo Tribune. I arrived on my usual time, wrote the best bets for Friday, and worked on the answer book before calling it quits and heading home. As I walked down the stairs for the last time a thought occured to me, now that I don't have my internship, and I haven't gotten a call back from either of the places I applied to, I have nothing. Even though it wasn't a job, and I didn't get paid, the internship felt like I was doing something with my college degree. Now that it is over, I will have to wait to get a job in order to write or edit again, and that may take some time considering it took three weeks to find out I didn't get either of the jobs I applied for. It could be months or years until I work for a paper or publishing company. In the meantime, I'll have nothing to make me feel like a writer or a success. I should have left feeling more confident and accomplished, but all I feel is depressed.
