Possibly Irrational Jobs That I Think About When I'm Stressed
Fanpop

I am absolutely addicted to joining extracurricular activities on Loyola's campus. However, I sometimes feel as though the stress that comes from balancing multiple organizations, school work, my paid jobs, my unpaid jobs and a social life can be a bit overwhelming. I would never throw away my responsibilities or let down all of the people who count on me. I love all the groups that I have joined and gained membership, but I will admit that I have fantasized about an alternate life where I do not have do all of the daily and stress-inducing tasks that comes with being a busy college student who is trying to build her career.

Here are some of the jobs I've considered as backups, but would probably never do, when the stress starts getting to me:

1. Dropping out of college to pursue a career in selling detox teas on Instagram.

Why not? I'm minoring in Social Media and I love tea. Think I can't survive off of free promotional tea samples from the same three companies? Probably couldn't, but daydream me is totally ready to prove you wrong and show you how you too can drop 10 lbs right now from this super yummy blueberry peppermint tea.

2. Selling improvised poems to tourists in the French Quarter.

I saw a woman with the most beautiful antique typewriter who was selling poems on the street. I did not know that was a thing, but I want in. Roses are red, violets are blue, give me 6 bucks and I could maybe, possibly, probably, kinda, not really, get your crush to marry you (or ask for a restraining order.)

3. Professional fan-fic editor

Editing Fan Fiction because have you ever even read fan fiction? I'm looking at you, writers of My Immortal. I could make you the next E.L. James.

4. Hold self-help/life-skills seminars in airport hotels across America

(from giphy.com)

People would pay me $400 to help them learn to better deal with criticism. People would just sit in a room with me for six hours while I yell and throw unnecessary shade at them in hopes of earning a certificate with a smiley face and a colorful boarder that they can show to future employers as proof that they are great at handling criticism. Yeah, I'm basically a saint (Okay, a Saints fan.)

5. Professional flower crown wearer at music festivals

(from giphy.com)

Are you having a music festival but there are not enough people wearing headbands/crowns made of fake flowers? It's okay. For $15/hr I can change that. I won't make the crowns. I won't sell them, but you can pay me to walk around and wear them for that Coachella vibe.

So now that I've typed that out, I've realized that I may not exactly have a stable career path outside of college at the moment. But, you can't help me from dreaming whenever I get to very busy day in my planner.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
