French Quarter woman Rachel Hendricks [25] has this week found herself going through the ‘single woman’s quarter life crisis’, which sees her either contemplating a complete change of scenery or going back to university.
Prompted by yet another dismal week for working with shitty clients, Rachel says she’s been feeling really stagnant, and just simply can’t go on ‘merely existing anymore.’
“I feel so…restless”, says Rachel, letting out a dramatic sigh, “I’ve been in marketing for the past few years and I’m kind of over it. I don’t know if I should change professions or move somewhere else.”
“Like, I’ve been in Betoota my whole life and I’m just…bored. It’s the same shit all the time. Same people, same bars every weekend… London’s a bit too expensive…maybe Melbourne? It seems to have a pretty European vibe?”
“But EUGH then I don’t know?? I’ve always been interested in psychology and I reckon I’d make a pretty good psychologist. It’d be good to do something that actually helps people.”
“And if I studied that, I’d want to stay here as it’s way cheaper to rent.”
“…I could see myself as a high school English teacher too…”
“I don’t know if I want to commit all that time to uni though. I’ll be like, thirty something when I graduate.”
“Fuck, it’s so hard.”
Pausing to think as her foot waggles restlessly, Rachel continues to grind some more gears in her head before coming to some kind of conclusion.
“Actually, fuck, I’m too old to be scraping cents together, I’m not going back to uni.”
““I’m not happy with my job, and I’m single….if I don’t do this now, when can I?”
“I don’t think I’ll find my husband in Betoota.”
More to come.
