For the Love of a Thug

Throwing the last of my moving boxes into the garage, I let out a sigh of relief. It felt good to be done with all of this- good to be able to actually relax for a moment. Not that I had much time to relax, of course. Do you know how much work it is getting yourself set up after college? It’s tough, and not just because a hundred other marketing and advertising majors had graduated the same time as me (none of them with as good a grade, that said). Everyone was vying for a job in this city, and as a twenty-three year old graduate with only a handful of internships behind her, why should I be the one who stood out?

I went over all my achievements again in my head, my usual way of calming myself and bringing myself back down to earth. I had entered college at nineteen after interning at a copywriting firm for a year, then wound up head of a sorority before graduating Summa Cum Laude. That was surely enough to get some unsuspecting agency interested in me, right?

I sighed to myself as I pushed the key into the lock of my brand-new, just-moved-in apartment. I’d be lying to myself if I said I hadn’t wondered if my race would come into the equation when it came to job-hunting. I was one of only ten black students on my course, and I figured that the industry was probably going to be pretty snow-white as well.

Sure, the place was small, but it was mine- after sharing a sorority house with a bunch of sisters for the last four years, I was looking forward to having a place to myself. I’d picked up a few extra shifts over at the campus coffee shop in preparation for graduation, certain that even if I didn’t have a job I would have a kick-ass place to live. And here it was. All I needed now was someone to share it with.

Sighing, I flopped myself down on my couch and tried not to let my thoughts linger for too long on my serious singledom. It was probably for the best, after all, I didn’t want to be juggling a graduate career with attempting to nurture a fledgling romance. But there was still a part of me that missed having someone to cuddle up to at night, even if I knew I was being completely ridiculous. I had dated all the way through college, a series of white, middle-class guys who’d always treated me well and taken care of me, then vanished as soon as talk moved to something more serious. I couldn’t believe
