33 Thoughts You Have While Job Hunting
Paige Turek

Growing up and having to "#adult" is something each and every one of us dread. There will always come a day when going out every night of the week and 4 a.m. Whataburger runs must come to an end and we find ourselves in bed ready for a night's sleep by 10 p.m. just to wake up at 6 a.m. the next morning for our 8-5 job. No matter how much we wish we could stay in college forever and live life somewhat un-responsibly, it never lasts forever. Soon your in the final semester of your senior year and your job search is well underway as the pressure and stress of finding a job before May increases each and every moment. Here are the thoughts every single one of us have during the job hunting process.

1. Is it too late to become a fifth year? Or...maybe a 6th?

2. Ohhhh this one's in the city!

3. A house is that much to live there?!

4. On second thought who wants to live in the city?

5. but the shopping.....

6. OK, OK, so how do I act like I know how to negotiate benefits?

7. Or pay?

8. How much of a salary am I even worth?

9. Who am I kidding, at this point I'll take anything.

10. Seriously, please just hire me.

11. Does my mom count as a reference?

12. Ugh, all this job hunting is making me hungry.

13. Maybe if I actually had a job I could eat something other than ramen.

14. Or get a dog. I love dogs. *starts searching dog breeds*

15. $800?!? Who spends $800 on a puppy?

16. OK, I would. If I had a job....

17. OK back to it.

18. "Special skills." Does eating the most powdered donuts count?

19. Is it too late to change my major?

20. Ugh, this one has an essay portion.

21. Is it bad to just copy and paste from my last application?

22. Wait...three years of business experience required?

23. How am I supposed to find a job if they all require years of experience?!

24. Whatever, I didn't want that job anyway.

25. Oh, here's a good one....

26. Do they all just collaborate applications because these are the SAME questions.

27. Maybe I could just move in with my parents.

28. Who am I kidding, I wouldn't last a month.

29. But free food though.....

30. Job experience again? I just submitted my resume.

31. Just get it over with.

32. Submit. OK...that wasn't too bad.

33. One is good for today. I need a sandwich.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us.

The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
