Real-World Frustrations Since Graduation?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the stuff no one really prepares you for after graduating.

Since leaving UCD, what’s a problem you’ve run into that’s stuck with you? It could be something at work, in your industry, or just in everyday life.

I’m especially curious about things that:

  • You’ve just learned to put up with
  • Feel unnecessarily complicated
  • Or made you think, “Surely there’s a better way to do this?”

And if you’re open to sharing — does it feel like a small annoyance, or something that genuinely needs solving?

I’d really appreciate any insight.
