If time feels running faster in your life right now, there is a huge chance that it would feel two times faster in the life of those fresh graduates who graduated in the middle of this pandemic.

I graduated from my university with a bachelor of interior design last October. Two months later, in December, I was lucky enough to be hired as an interior designer in a start-up company. Last month, I decided to resign.

“How dare you decided to resign when most of the people right now struggling to get a proper job? You’re such an ungrateful woman.”
