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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
