I have been feeling a little depressed since yesterday and I don't know why. What should I do?
I think gradating finally hit me. No more laid back courses, no more hanging with friends on campus. I'm scared because i have been in school my whole life and in may I'll be done.
-
I masturbate and listen to emo music.
-
Go out to my favorite chinese place.
-
I get loaded on Johnny Walker and play with handguns.
In preparation for the road ahead, if you're anything like the general college-attending populus, you'll probably find the time between graduation and finding a real job in your field to be one of the worst periods of your life. At least you have that to look forward to.

Wait? Seriously? The worst period in my life?

I masturbate and listen to emo music.
I don't know if you're being facetious, but this is really what I do when I'm feeling down.

Maybe I just need coffee?

maybe it's because you realize that you won't get a job in the movie-industry

Maybe I just need coffee?
You probably just need vitamins and some exercise

I'm having a Pre-Quarter Life crisis.

That's the consensus as I understand it and I know I wasn't any different. Depending on how your search plays out, it's a nice long stretch of self-doubt, feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, and general depression that extends to that very moment you get a callback. I imagine it's only worse if you're stuck stocking shelves at Piggly Wiggly in the time between.

drink, or do an activity that will take my mind off of it.

In the novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, author Douglas Coupland defines "mid-twenties breakdown" as
A period of mental collapse occurring in one's twenties, often caused by an inability to function outside of school or structured environments, coupled with a realisation of one's essential aloneness in the world. Often marks induction into the ritual of pharmaceutical usage.
Jesus Christ! :o :( :'( :-\

It's definitely a shitty period to go through. I had a good 5-6 months after graduation where I was looking for a programming job. I worked as a TV salesman for two months during that period to get by and absolutely hated it. I felt inexperienced and worse, inadequate.
It probably wouldn't have been that bad if my parents had been able to offer financial support, though.

Everybody Hurts
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

drink, take a unisom, and just go to bed.

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.
I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.
RIP, FoC, RIP.

I talk shit about PD's dumbass.
