Applying to jobs and internships is overwhelming and kind of frustrating. Sometimes you really, really want a certain job and you know it's the perfect one for you. Most jobs ask for a cover letter but it's hard to write one and express how much you want the job without sounding crazy. I went through this a lot recently... I kept my cover letters professional but this is what I wish I could have said.

1. I really really really really want the job

Giphy

No, seriously like I need this.

2. I fit the job description literally perfectly

Giphy

For real I fit every requirement except maybe to 10 years of experience wanted.

3. This has been my dream job for as long as I could remember

Giphy

Really, ask my mom.

4. There is more to me than my resume

Giphy

I can also touch my tongue to my nose!

5. I will work really really hard on anything you give me

Giphy

I'll be #dedicated

6. I want this so bad I'm actually okay with just going on coffee runs for you

Giphy

I'm okay with The Devil Wears Prada lifestyle.

7. I genuinely mean it when I say I want to learn

Giphy

I'll learn it all... new slang, a new computer system, a new way to make coffee... ANYTHING.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
