The 'Job Hunt Is A Job Itself' Is The Most Accurate Statement A College Senior Has Ever Heard

f you've put out feelers, sent out emails and stayed on top of things... you're probably feeling great right about now. But for the others that are a little behind and worried about what they're going to do post-graduation, don't get too down on yourself.

I've been on the hunt for roughly two months now... way before my actual graduation ceremony. Let me tell you something...

IT IS STRESSFUL.

Searching for a job has been more stressful than any project or exam I have ever worked on. The applications, the interviews, the follow-ups, the lack of replies, the questions... it's all new and unfamiliar to a 21-year-old college student.

Am I willing to move across the state? the nation? the world?

It's weird to think about living so far away from family and friends, and a college town you've grown to know and love. It's weird to think about being a full-time adult and not going to school for the first time in 17 years.

But, on the other hand, there's a whole new world that's opening up at your fingertips. Your first company, your first new city on your own, your first apartment... new friends and a new opportunity for love is all at your feet. There's nothing you can't reach for.

I'm a big believer in God doesn't give you anything that you can't handle. So whether the job hunt is driving you insane or you're deciding between two places, relax and know that God has a plan.

You will get a job. You will succeed. You will be fine.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
