33 Thoughts You Have While Job Hunting
Paige Turek

Growing up and having to "#adult" is something each and every one of us dread. There will always come a day when going out every night of the week and 4 a.m. Whataburger runs must come to an end and we find ourselves in bed ready for a night's sleep by 10 p.m. just to wake up at 6 a.m. the next morning for our 8-5 job. No matter how much we wish we could stay in college forever and live life somewhat un-responsibly, it never lasts forever. Soon your in the final semester of your senior year and your job search is well underway as the pressure and stress of finding a job before May increases each and every moment. Here are the thoughts every single one of us have during the job hunting process.

1. Is it too late to become a fifth year? Or...maybe a 6th?

2. Ohhhh this one's in the city!

3. A house is that much to live there?!

4. On second thought who wants to live in the city?

5. but the shopping.....

6. OK, OK, so how do I act like I know how to negotiate benefits?

7. Or pay?

8. How much of a salary am I even worth?

9. Who am I kidding, at this point I'll take anything.

10. Seriously, please just hire me.

11. Does my mom count as a reference?

12. Ugh, all this job hunting is making me hungry.

13. Maybe if I actually had a job I could eat something other than ramen.

14. Or get a dog. I love dogs. *starts searching dog breeds*

15. $800?!? Who spends $800 on a puppy?

16. OK, I would. If I had a job....

17. OK back to it.

18. "Special skills." Does eating the most powdered donuts count?

19. Is it too late to change my major?

20. Ugh, this one has an essay portion.

21. Is it bad to just copy and paste from my last application?

22. Wait...three years of business experience required?

23. How am I supposed to find a job if they all require years of experience?!

24. Whatever, I didn't want that job anyway.

25. Oh, here's a good one....

26. Do they all just collaborate applications because these are the SAME questions.

27. Maybe I could just move in with my parents.

28. Who am I kidding, I wouldn't last a month.

29. But free food though.....

30. Job experience again? I just submitted my resume.

31. Just get it over with.

32. Submit. OK...that wasn't too bad.

33. One is good for today. I need a sandwich.

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.
