11 Struggles Of Job Hunting, As Told By Monica Geller

Job searching is a stressful time in anyone's life, especially when you've been unemployed for what feels like forever.

And especially when you're about to start school without a job. How are you going to pay for unnecessary Target trips and your morning Dutch Bros?! Well, no one can relate better than Monica Geller.

After all, there was almost an entire season of Friends where she was broke as a joke.

1. When you start applying for jobs and your optimism is at an all time high.

You hate that you have to go through this process, but you know you'll come out the other side with some type of income.

2. When your absolute last choice for employment calls you first.

I mean, you'll take it if no one else calls you. But...really?

3. But then, your number one choice calls you!

YEAAAAAAAAAA NAILED IT!

4. They ask you to come in for an interview, and you have a hard time keeping yourself together on the phone.

In your mind, you already have the job.

5. You bring your focus in and go nail the interview.

Literally, the only thing you're focused on is how much happier you will be once you're making money again.

6. Then you wait...and wait...and wait...

Come on, I needed this job like, yesterday. I can't wait another week for this!

7. And get a rejection call.

No. It's fine. I'm not mad...okay I'm a little mad.

8. Your friends try to make you feel better...

...but you really don't need their pity. You need a JOB.

9. And you're upset for about a day or so, so you try to distract yourself.

This is fine, I'm fine.

10. And go into denial about why they didn't want you.

I could have been such a good employee there!

11. But after a day or so, you suck it up and take that first job offer.

You gotta make some money, and it won't be your forever job.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
