i just got my first job (yay!) and im ecstatic! i graduated last year and ive been in a slump the following months because i kept getting rejected to where im applying, but finally, ive been hired. this is such a new experience for me and my college practicum was enough to give me an eye-opener but not the full experience. i just gotta ask though, is it normal to be so tired after i clock out? i work 8 hours during weekdays, and i clock in at 8, out at 5. ive been noticing that im getting home tired, and im barely able to eat dinner before i succumb to sleep. is this just because im new?

Congratulations! I'm very happy you got a job. I hope you enjoy it and have no problems while working there. Anything you do that is a change from what you've been doing can make you tired until you get used to your new schedule. Just give it time and you'll be fine.
