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?”

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."

https://media.giphy.com/media/PeHsECVOX5tkI/giphy.gif

I didn't want a job anyways!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
