My perfect niche.

10 Things I'm Good At That Won't Help Me Get A Job

As a college student, I am constantly searching for internships, part-time jobs to get me by and careers for when that dreaded day comes that I'm finally kicked out into the real world. I must say I have a pretty decent resume at this point in time. However, I almost feel like it could be even better should I choose to add a few of my "special" qualities to my list of skills. Everyone has that perfect niche that sets them apart from other candidates during the hiring process, so why not add a few of the skills below to my resume to set myself apart from my competition?

1. Name That Tune.

Similar to Google, I have a pretty large directory of song lyrics and melodies buried in the back of my mind.

2. Speaking in Pig Latin.

Ore Ma Mpressive Ia Han Ta Peaking Sa Panish Sa, M Aa I Ight Ra?! (Google For Translation)

3. Making A Bridge With A Deck of Cards.

This might be the only physical display of talent I will ever be able to show anyone, so I will forever continue bragging about this one.

4. Reciting Movies Quotes.

Sure, they are all usually from movies that no one but my friends and I have ever heard of but it's still hilarious to us, okay? You can't sit with us!

5. Directions.

I can drive somewhere just once and remember it the next without a GPS or handheld map. I get this one from my Daddy.

6. Beer Pong.

"SWISH" is all I have to say about this one. (Also, I'm pretty good at drinking beer)

7. Knowing Everything There Is To Know About The Kardashians/Jenners.

If you ever have any questions regarding the lives of Kris, Caitlyn, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Rob, Kendall, Kylie, Kanye, North, Saint, Scott, Mason, Penelope or Reign, shoot me a message.

8. Laying In Bed All Day Without Getting Bed Sores.

As I was looking for inspiration for this list, my roommate piped up with this skill that I seem to have and I can't say I disagree with her. I've mastered the art of watching full seasons of shows on Netflix and not having to move from my bed for hours upon hours.

9. Making The Perfect Playlist For Whatever Occasion.

Whether it be for a party, my morning run, my shower or my long drives back to school from my hometown, I'm always able to find the perfect mood music.

10. Tubing On The Lake.

I pride myself on being a good tuber considering its the closest thing to bull-riding that a water sport can come to. I can stay on for a whole minute without flipping off!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
