18 Reasons Why Job Hunting Is The Worst

Looking for a job is always such a daunting task. You want to find the perfect job right off the bat, but you soon become desperate to find just a job. What's worse is when you apply to numerous positions only to hear back from maybe two of them. Before you know it, you're right back to having to go through this dreaded job-seeking process all over again.

1. Scrolling through job postings for hours on end, and seeing how many applications you have to do now

Finding a job feels like a job itself.

2. When you look at entry-level jobs, but see the words “must have 5+ years experience” in every single job description

It's called "entry level" for a reason, right?

3. When you can upload your resume, but you still have to write everything out in the application

4. When you have to write yet another cover letter

As if a resume and an application weren't enough already.

5. When LinkedIn correctly autofills your application

#blessed

6. Finally submitting in your application

No turning back now.

7. Applying for 30-plus jobs, but still feeling like it's not enough

8. Trying to network

Please like me, please like me, please like me.

9. Stalking employees at your dream company on LinkedIn

10. Getting ready for an interview

11. When a job requires a video interview, a phone interview, an in-person interview, and a test

12. Waiting to hear back from potential employers

13. When your parents ask if you've heard back from anybody yet

I'm pretty sure you guys would be the first ones to know if anything happens.

14. When people keep asking if you have a job yet

Please stop asking it.

15. When you get rejected

16. When your friends keep posting about their new jobs on Facebook

I'm so happy for you ...

17. Realizing you may have to live with your parents until you can find a job

18. Questioning if you will ever get a job

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
