18 Reasons Why Job Hunting Is The Worst

Looking for a job is always such a daunting task. You want to find the perfect job right off the bat, but you soon become desperate to find just a job. What's worse is when you apply to numerous positions only to hear back from maybe two of them. Before you know it, you're right back to having to go through this dreaded job-seeking process all over again.

1. Scrolling through job postings for hours on end, and seeing how many applications you have to do now

Finding a job feels like a job itself.

2. When you look at entry-level jobs, but see the words “must have 5+ years experience” in every single job description

It's called "entry level" for a reason, right?

3. When you can upload your resume, but you still have to write everything out in the application

4. When you have to write yet another cover letter

As if a resume and an application weren't enough already.

5. When LinkedIn correctly autofills your application

6. Finally submitting in your application

No turning back now.

7. Applying for 30-plus jobs, but still feeling like it's not enough

8. Trying to network

Please like me, please like me, please like me.

9. Stalking employees at your dream company on LinkedIn

10. Getting ready for an interview

11. When a job requires a video interview, a phone interview, an in-person interview, and a test

12. Waiting to hear back from potential employers

13. When your parents ask if you've heard back from anybody yet

I'm pretty sure you guys would be the first ones to know if anything happens.

14. When people keep asking if you have a job yet

Please stop asking it.

15. When you get rejected

16. When your friends keep posting about their new jobs on Facebook

I'm sohappy for you ...

17. Realizing you may have to live with your parents until you can find a job

18. Questioning if you will ever get a job

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
