My Job Sucks. Period.

My Job Sucks. Period.

"Why am I here?"

"This job is wasting my time."

"I want to be anywhere but here."

Do these thoughts sound familiar?

Happy July folks. We've officially made it halfway through the year. You've probably graduated recently, adjusting to a new job, switched countless jobs, or are on the verge of a mental breakdown and thinking, "God damn it, my job sucks ass."

Have you ever experienced/had a variety of jobs in your life? Are they small jobs such as working concession stands, waiting tables, ziplining across the fields, mall-front jobs, or just those dead-end jobs of working behind the desk 9-to-5? Do you have those moments in which you think sometimes why do I have to go in when I could just stay at home and be a bum? Or what about having that dreaded job with an awful boss who has the tendency to throw unexpected shit at you to the point you end up cracking and feeling irritable? I know I have. Actually, I cracked on my job as of two weeks ago. But enough about me.

In our lives, we guaranteed to experience an array of jobs. 10 to 20 something perhaps. Sometimes you'll bounce back and forth (not intentionally of course, if so then there's a problem) three to four jobs in a year either due to change of management, bullshit drama, or just unreasonable pay. Most of all, specifically going out to recent college grads, today's job search consists of applying at least eight to a dozen times before that grand ol' job comes in hand.

Coming from your recent college grad, after a month or so of adjusting to this post-grad life is far from simply. Matter of fact, it's not an easy task. Most recent graduates can understand, know, and experience that jobs will come and go. You probably are working two to three jobs (small task jobs such as writing these articles) just to stay afloat. Or you just have that one job you've stopped giving a shit about and you decided after a month of officially staying there, you realize this job is not what you want to do.

"We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it" 1 Corinthians 4:!2

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.
