17 Thoughts Every College Student Has While On LinkedIn

Some time during college, you were probably introduced to the networking site LinkedIn. "It's the professional version of Facebook," you were told, or "It's a great way to help you find out about jobs." Eventually you joined this online realm of industry experts and business partners, uploaded the most professional picture of yourself in existence and started connecting with as many esteemed individuals. You felt more adult than you ever have, right?

Now, well, you're linked in to LinkedIn. Here are 17 thoughts every college student on LinkedIn has.

1. Am I professional enough?

2. Someone just viewed my profile! Wow, this is better than a Facebook poke.

3. Why don't I have a job yet?

4. Wow, that girl from my high school is working at that super prestigious corporate company. Oh, cool.

5. I am not jealous. I am not jealous. I am jealous.

6. Ooh, my 4th grade pen pal has a LinkedIn. Should I connect with him? I wonder if he remembers me.

7. *does anything on the site* I wonder if that was professional.

8. *gets a new job/position* I must post this on LinkedIn immediately.

9. I want to stalk this person's profile but I don't want them to know.

10. Can someone slide into my inbox and offer me a job?

11. I need to change my picture. Do I look like a skilled candidate?

12. Did he/she really just view my profile and not connect with me?

13. I don't care about likes. I just care about endorsements.

14. One time I made a spreadsheet. *puts Excel as a skill*

15. I want more connections than Facebook friends!

16. But also, I'm not connecting with you unless I know you.

17. Do I have special skills? Do I? I need to be the best version of myself on here.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun.

This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
