"Funemployment" is interesting and I look slightly enviously upon my friends collecting funemployment, but I think we should note it really is classified in the "stuff white people like" file. Meaning, it's for the privileged, middle class Gen Yers -- those of us always having the quarter-life, crisis, etc. In reality, unemployment isn't glamourous for most people, even our age.

It's true; I've found my "funemployment" to be very eye-opening as I've done lots of volunteering and such. I've kept busy, that's for sure. I feel like I've learned a lot and haven't been isolated. It's been "fun!" You say some good things here. It’s true; I’ve found my “funemployment” to be very eye-opening as I’ve done lots of volunteering and such. I’ve kept busy, that’s for sure.
