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.

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.
