A List Of Things I Could Actually Put On My Resume

It's like John Mayer said: "I'm so sad of getting older. I'm only good at being young."

A List Of Things I Could Actually Put On My Resume
Huffington Post

Oh, senior spring. A time full of more unwanted panic attacks, reminders of graduation, and looming fear that will just not quit. You're trying your hardest to avoid the all too fast approaching graduation date, while enjoying every last second you have in the bubble that was the last four years. In the midst of all that, is the job search, grad school applications, and just plain trying to get your shit together, which I'm all but convinced is impossible. As you pore over your resume, and your lack of experience for virtually every single job you've applied for, you begin to wonder what exactly you've done for the past four years, and how you've acquired essentially zero marketable skills. Well, I am here to say you've done a lot more than you think, and if we were all honest on our resumes about what we've done over the last four years, they'd read a little something like this.

1. Successfully snooze/sleep through alarms/classes/all responsibilities

2. Prioritizes getting coffee over getting to class on time

3. Advanced multi-tasking: online shopping while watching Netflix with the subtitles while sitting in class

4. Ability to finish all seven seasons of Shameless in under a month*

(*also all 10 seasons of Friends over winter break-- talk about SKILLS)

5. Experienced pregame playlist creator

6. Experienced road trip playlist creator

7. Experienced playlist creator

8. Ability to make a meal out of random (expired?) foods in fridge

9. Ability to fit 30+ beers in a mini fridge

(The ORGANIZATION people!)

10. Can function on minimal sleep

11. Can function with massive hangover

12. Can exist solely off of caffeine, French fries, and chocolate for extended periods of time

13. Ability to sleep until 3 PM

14. Ability to do nothing at all on a Sunday but scroll social media, until 9 PM when you remember all of your responsibilities

15. Prioritizes work for one class by skipping another class

16. Prioritizes just about anything else by skipping class

17. Exceptional creativity with Instagram captions

18. Experienced in posting funny/relatable Tweets

19. Ability to capture the best moments via Snapchat story

20. Ability to always make it back home after a night out

(PHENOMENAL (drunk) directional skills!)

21. Overestimates how much alcohol is too much

(Since when is confidence a bad thing?)

22. Calculated just how long it takes pizza to be delivered at any time of day

23. Mastered the exact number of minutes it takes to get ready in the morning-- leaving no room for error

24. Can successfully drink oneself a sweater

(20 degrees? NBD.)

25. Ability to memorize five chapters of anything and promptly forget it in less than 24 hours

26. Ability to ignore growing laundry pile

27. Experienced in spending money on things you absolutely don't need

28. Motivated by the prospect of anything free

29. Can successfully avoid any and every potentially awkward encounter

30. Professional college student

Because that's a skill, right?

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.

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.
