11 Struggles Looking For A Job After Graduation

If you are like me (and not being an Investment Banker AKA you didn't get your job offer in December...) then you are probably struggling to find a job after graduation. Here are the 11 struggles I'm currently going through. Maybe they sound familiar to you to?

1. Looking for places to look for jobs

2. Deciding if you even qualify for this job?

3. Struggling with having 2+ years of experience

4. Deciding as you search what kind of job you actually want to have

5. Feeling like you are sending job resumes into outer space

6. Searching through all your old papers to find networking contacts

7. Questioning whether you can survive off the money you would make from swiping cards at your local gym

8. Not wanting to not live at home with your parents but also really wanting to go home and live that life you had in high school

9. Applying to more jobs than you could imagine and not hearing back from 99% of them

10. Rewriting cover letters over and over (aka changing one word here and there to make them "different")

11. Being so ready to leave college and also so ready to stay

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
