Whether it's over the phone, from Skype, or in person, job interviews always prove to be a little bit nerve-racking.

No matter what kind of job it is that you are applying to, you definitely feel this type of way before you get a call or an email back.

1. "Geez. How did I do?"

Everyone's initial thought right after an interview. You might already have a good idea of how you think that you did. If you think you might not have done your best, picking on everything that you could have done better on will probably be what you do on the silent drive back to your place. Or if you think you nailed it, you might be totally geeking as you walk out of your interview.

2. "What did they think of me?"

Did I sound smart? Did I seem nervous? Did I make a good impression? Thinking about how the interviewer perceived you during the interview can be a weird thing to think about, but it is a good way to possibly help yourself in other interviews.

3. “Okay if they didn’t like me, there’s always other jobs.”

It is their loss if they don't hire me. It's okay. I'm okay. Not necessarily the end of the world.

4. “Why did I even apply for this job?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/xTk9Zxw5LoEOuCLCQE/giphy.gif

Do I even want to work here?? I mean, am I THAT desperate? Is getting paid...worth it?

5. “My resume stands out, I think.”

https://media.giphy.com/media/11wsZr0jbXc15m/giphy.gif

After rereading my very ~ impressive ~ resume, I realize that I must be the most hireable person that applied to this position. I mean, come on.

6. “Is this what all job interviews are like?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/Lcn0yF1RcLANG/giphy.gif

So this is what it's like to apply for a real job.

7. “I didn’t even answer the question right..”

https://media.giphy.com/media/xUPN3zWOUeA4PgKOkM/giphy.gif

Looking back at the interview questions, I don't think that my answer even made sense. Wait, actually I think it did...

8. “What if I hate this job?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/11RIDouEyKZ116/giphy.gif

What if this job isn't even what it says it is? I'm just going to hope that I am not going to regret this.

9. “I think I got this one.”

https://media.giphy.com/media/uhXHCg4IWzozu/giphy.gif

Why wouldn't they give me this job? I would call myself over qualified, in fact.They would be crazy to not hire me.

10. “Why haven’t they called me back?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/13yTWxNez02T2o/giphy.gif

You know, they haven’t called me back but, I am going to take that as a compliment because they are trying to find someone better than me. And they can’t.

11. Okay, it's not the end of the world, if I don't get this."

I didn't want a job anyways!

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
