37 Thoughts Before A Job Interview
Huffington Post

After applying and applying over and over again, you finally get contacted for a summer position and secure that interview. That interview for the internship that is a direct line to your future and is the perfect way to meet people who will set you ahead in life. What now?

We all get nervous for interviews, especially if we are interviewing with a panel of soul-sucking, cyborg-esque, cookie cutter corporates like the one pictured above. I don't know, thank you, Google Images?

1. Alright, time to pick an outfit.

2. I will be sophisticated and professional, sharp as a tack.

3. "'Cause every girl is crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."

4. Does a suit reek of desperation or does it hide the stench of eagerness?

5. Maybe they'll be so distracted by how awesome I look they won't notice the pit stains.

6. Okay, my pit stains have pit stains.

7. I need to start applying for jobs that require sweatpants for the interview.

8. I wonder who will be interviewing me.

9. What if they have a weird laugh or have a super hairy mole or something distracting?

10. What if they pronounce a word really wrong and I just lose my sh*t?

11. What if I pronounce a word really wrong and they lose their sh*t?

12. A suit it is.

13. INTERVIEW DAY!

14. I will vomit everywhere.

15. What if I'm late?

16. It'll be fine.

17. Interview is at 10:15, I'll stroll in around 6 in the morning. That should give me plenty of time. Totally casual.

18. I'll stroll in, shoot them with a "Sup?"... Maybe throw in a head nod.

19. I really might vomit.

20. Or cry.

21. What if I start crying in this interview?

22. What if I start vomiting and crying during this interview?

23. Maybe they'll pity me and give me the job on the spot.

24. There is no situation in which that would happen and I would still get the job.

25. I think I should probably not stress myself out more.

26. It'll be fine.

27. *Pictures that meme of the dog sitting in the burning house saying "This is fine."*

28. I am a champion.

29. Seriously, they won't know what hit them.

30. This will be the single best interview in the history of interviews.

31. I will leave them in tears.

32. One of them will likely fall in love with me.

33. I will have to fight them off because I will immediately be offered the job of Regional Manager and that just wouldn't be professional to date my inferiors.

34. What could go wrong?

35. I genuinely don't know how I feel about this interview because now I am picturing everything that could go astronomically wrong.

36. *Googles "How to nail an interview."*

37. I have never felt more prepared.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
