Dear Future Employers,

My graduation date is approaching very quickly, so it’s time to apply for jobs. Here are 28 reasons you should consider me for this position:

1. If I Was An Employer, I’d Hire Me

I’m proud of who I am, and if you choose me, you would be proud of me too!

2. My Resume And Cover Letter Are Literally Only An Email Away

Imagine your company at the top of my resume. That sounds pretty great, doesn’t it?

3. Give A Recent College Grad A Chance

While I may not have three years of PR experience, I’m more than happy to learn!

4. I’m Honest

These are all my real skills. I promise.

5. I Don’t Know Everything, But I Will Figure It Out

I’m not afraid to admit that Google is my best friend (and look at me being honest about not knowing everything).

6. I’m Punctual

I’ve never been late for class. Even if I stood in the incredibly long line at Starbucks beforehand.

7. I Like Office Supplies

Need sticky notes? I already have 27 different color options.

8. I’ve Had Experience

Internships are EVERYTHING. And I have plenty of internship experience.

9. I Know The Difference Between Your and You’re

See any grammar mistakes in this article? I don’t think so.

10. I Like To Bake

Which basically means there will be lots of baked goods in the office.

11. I’m An Expert At Social Media

Being in a college organization has taught me all about how to get likes on any social media.

12. I’ve Never Worn Ripped Jeans To An Interview

BizCasual alllllll the way.

13. I'm Great With Microsoft Office.

Where do you think this article was written?

14. I’m An Animal Person.

Bring your pet to work day? I’m already ready.

15. My Mom Thinks You Should Hire Me.

And my mom wouldn’t lie. She secretly wants me to live at home.

16. I Don’t Drink Coffee, So I Never Have Coffee Breath

I see this as a plus.

17. There Are No Felonies On My Record

I see this as a bigger plus.

18. Laughed At My Last Point? Funny People Make Great Employees

Imagine all the laughs you’d have in the office with me around.

19. I’m Up To Date On Current Events

Did you hear about that thing that just happened? Yeah. I already knew about it.

20. I Can Speak Spanish

“Dame un trabajo, por favor.”

21. I Haven’t Cried All Semester

And if you remember college, then you know that’s a BIG accomplishment.

22. I Can Multitask

I can use Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter all at the same time (which for a Comm major, is a pretty great talent).

23. I Don’t Get Sick Often

I just got my flu shot.

24. I’m A Team Player

Two words: Group. Projects.

25. I Write In Complete Sentences

And they’re capitalized correctly too!

26. I Am Good With Confrontation

Have you ever seen a group message on the day a group project is due?

27. I’m Great With A Budget

I can walk out of Target without buying a thing.

28. I’m Creative

Obviously, because I made this list.

Well, I think that about covers it. Let me know when I start!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
