Finding A Job, As Told By 'Gossip Girl'
wikepedia.com

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.

And when you get the call informing you that you have an interview, you are the most excited person in the world.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F05%2F19%2F635992896768356956937587576_excited.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=799&h=fed005e54c8785f0e0cb29916668b358768745c80bfa354fd6869d2f73386b98&size=980x&c=4189471296 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F05%252F19%252F635992896768356956937587576_excited.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D799%26h%3Dfed005e54c8785f0e0cb29916668b358768745c80bfa354fd6869d2f73386b98%26size%3D980x%26c%3D4189471296%22%7D" expand=1]

Then, you go into your interview excited, dressed up and confident.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F05%2F19%2F635992897843676835940600241_chuck%2520bass.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=125&h=6e823ddf741c8c82c833f6913705cd42c7726fefcc506a20269eb2844cc5220d&size=980x&c=1396992668 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F05%252F19%252F635992897843676835940600241_chuck%252520bass.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D125%26h%3D6e823ddf741c8c82c833f6913705cd42c7726fefcc506a20269eb2844cc5220d%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1396992668%22%7D" expand=1]

The you get really nervous and basically forget your own name and how you got there once you actually start the interview.

You walk out of there thinking you bombed it and vow to never set foot in the place, but get a call two days later saying you got the job.

The you realize that you hate the place and your only in it for the employee discount, but hey, some times it's worth it.

I love the entire year. Well, for the most part. I'm not a big fan of Winter, but even then, every month has something that's pretty great. November? Thanksgiving. December? Winter Holidays. January? New Year's. February? Valentine's and Single Awareness Day. May? Existential dread during finals. But for me, March has always been my favorite month of the year, and for good reason.
