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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
