i don't think it's shameful to go home and live with your parents after graduataion, but i'm deathly afraid to.
i'm from scranton, pennsylvania - one of those towns that if you don't get out when you've got the chance, it's going to GET you. built on a long-dead coal industry, it's got nothing but bars, funeral homes and slag heaps.
i just KNOW i'm going to end up going home while i try to find a job, find something for the mean time, get some good ebenfits, move up a little, and then before i know it, scranton will HAVE me.
it's hard to articulate but maybe someone who lives in the same kind of town will understand - i'm actually, seriously, legitimately afraid of getting sucked in to north eastern pennsylvania and never getting out.
