Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of college students trying to find a job. We all know that everyone is looking for one and knows the real struggle of interviews, job hunting, and actually getting the job — but the catch is actually keeping it. You know you love me, XOXO.
First of all, you either have all the motivation in the world to find a job, or none at all — but either way you have to start looking for one before all the high schoolers snatch them up.

Filling out applications is the most time -onsuming and tedious thing you have ever experienced, and you have to do it multiple times.

Once you actually fill out all the applications and give them back, it's an annoying waiting game.
