The Last Semester: Heading Into The Real World

Applying for full-time jobs is harder than it looks.

The Last Semester: Heading Into The Real World

As a second semester senior in college, who is about to graduate in May of 2020, it's time to apply for full-time jobs and it's honestly frightening. For the longest time, people have told me that applying for full-time jobs is about networking and getting to know people. It couldn't be anymore true.

As a major introvert, networking is a concept that frightens me. Of course, I love meeting new people and learning more about my field. However, I am the one of the many who enjoys applying myself through the internet. Applying for jobs couldn't be anymore easier with Indeed, Ziprecruiter, and even LinkedIn. It's quick, easy, and you can easily upload your resume and cover letter.

Here's the hard part: showing who you really are and waiting for a response. You can only show your personality so much through typed words and a resume. Based off of my experience in currently applying for jobs, I tried to descriptively type how enthusiastically I want the job and how I will apply myself through my past experiences and skills that I've gained, through my experiences.

So far, I've had no luck. But although there is still time, I am hopeful that something will come about. For those who are also currently applying, be patient. That is one of the major components that I've learned through this application process. Patience will always be the number one priority, as companies won't respond right away. After some time, email them to show them that you're eager to work for them! Some will respond, some won't. It's all in the process.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

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. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
