All Good Things Come To an End

During University, everyone used to tell me enjoy those years, they'll soon be over and the real world sucks for sure. I never believed them, but I hate to admit now, that I miss university days, even if I felt I was in hell for a while, it was all good.
So I'm back in here Kuwait, and a year ago, I was printing out CV's and sending them out to various companies in here. I've been called in for several interviews but I got no luck at all. Some of my friends applied the same time I did and they all got their jobs now. I'm positive I haven't screwed up in any answers I said to the questions they gave me. Also, I haven't forgotten my "Wasta." But, I guess some people are luckier than I am.
A few months back my cousin an I sat down at a place to have breakfast and we started discussing business and that kind of talk. It occurred to us that we could start our own little business, since she's a Marketing graduate and I'm a Design Management graduate too. So we decided we could form a small company where she works in Marketing and I work in Graphic Design. It went well for a few weeks, and we work with a silent partner who happened to be our first client. We were supposed to organize and event for his shop. I thought, what a thrill!! I'm sure going to enjoy working with my partner who happens to be my cousin and friend too.
So we begin our work and everything was working great, but a few weeks into business and I notice some difficulties that would put my friendship with my cousin in great jeopardy. I for one, don't like to be bossed around. Also, I felt that I have contributed more to our small business than my partner did. I came up with a corporate identity, worked on the company profile, designed a graphic design contract , and researched a list of services to do with graphic design that would attract customers and form a basis of a loyal clients.
The struggle with the event plan continues as we go to several meetings all around, and I felt that arguments are arising between us both. The event is this Thursday March 8th, and I'm glad it's almost over. I was planning two weeks ago, that by the end of this event I'll be meeting with my partners to discuss leaving them and working solo on a graphic design business. First of all, my cousin's personality clashes with mine doing such business. Second, she's more important to me than to lose here because of business. These are the main two reasons I'm deciding to work alone.
The real world is tough. Lots of challenges, difficulties, and obstacles are expected, and we have to go through them to establish ourselves in a business world.
