"Okay!"

Being broke made her anxious. She felt it was best to find a part-time job, preferably with daily pay. After all, she couldn't just wait until she was down to her last penny, could she?
But in an age where qualifications and certifications were king, her lack of both made finding a job she liked impossible.
Elysia sighed. Whenever she hit this wall, she'd remember the good university she'd been accepted into and how life had taken such a drastic turn. It was a past she preferred not to dwell on.
