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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
