After hours of filling out applications and getting called into interviews, you've finally landed yourself a job and a source of steady income. Even so, knowing that you're finally about to do something productive and that your bank account will soon be full once again is a great feeling. However, starting a new job can be a little overwhelming. Starting off is a process that every employed person knows to be true.

1. You arrive extremely early and make sure your manager knows it.

2. All of your co-workers know who the newbnextie is.

3. You think you understand everything you've been taught, and then your manager tells you to do it yourself and you realize you know nothing.

4. Then it starts to get busy for the first time that you're working and your stress goes from 0 to 60.


5. Your answer to every question a customer has is, "Hold on, let me ask my manager."

6. You start to feel annoying with how many questions you're actually asking.

7. But then you start to get the hang of it, and before you know it you become a pro.

8. Your manager lets you go for the day, and you leave triumphantly.


9. You become tired easily and more often.


10. You start to total up in your head how much money you made every day (before tax).

11. You begin to realize how much less free time you're gonna have.

12. And whenever your friends try to make plans, your answer is always, "I can't, I have work."

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!
