Finding A Job After College, As Told By The Cast Of 'New Girl'

As college graduation quickly approaches, the stress of finding a job is becoming more and more stressful. There are days where you apply for 100 jobs and days where you lay in bed crying because you haven't heard back from anyone. Whatever job search stage you're in, you've definitely experienced these feelings:

1. I am over qualified for any job I apply for.

This is the honeymoon phase. Your professors have made you believe that you are wanted by every company out there. They instill confidence in you and you feel on top of the world.

2. How do I make my resume look better?

Try every website there is. They will all tell you the same thing. Get a few opinions from people in your field and be confident in it. Don't forget to add all of the important things you did in college. No, winning the beer olympics last summer does not count as relevant experience or accomplishments.

3. I applied for 12 jobs today!

You're on a roll now! It's going to take more than 12 to find "the one" though.

4. No one has called me back about any of the jobs I applied for.

Cue panic. This is the scary part. What do you say? What do you wear? What do you ask? Take a deep breath. You got this.

6. Why haven't they called back yet?

Remember, that was just a practice round.

7. I applied for 53 more jobs today.

Keep on applying! Eventually, they will call you back. Follow up with emails and phone calls to your point of contact.

8. I got 3 interviews!

This is inevitable. Reschedule 2 of them and thank them for being flexible. If they're not flexible, it's not meant to be!

10. I got my dream job!

You did it.


Finding a job is the hardest part of college.You start to second guess everything and your confidence is ripped away from you. Believe in yourself, pray about it, and trust that it will fall into place.

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.

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.
