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.”

https://media.giphy.com/media/l3mZ4WW4JN2XraEXm/giphy.gif

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!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
