Making a list and working on it is a great idea, and each part of the list makes a lot of sense, they’re good things. I think just focusing on going through each part of your list may help you get through each day.

I just heard a sentiment about focusing on the now rather than telling yourself that things will be better later. Not that you can’t plan or expect better things once you finish your degree, but focusing more on each good part of your day or living in the moment may help. And, to you point about all jobs sucking, maybe that’s right, maybe it’s all relative. If you have no choice but to work, like most of us do, then a way of dealing would be to make the most out of it while looking for a new job and finishing your degree.

I hope things work out for you.
