How To Make Yourself Feel Unsuccessful

Disclaimer: This is all good natured humor, of course.

1. Look at all the work you've been procrastinating on.

When you sit back and let it hit you all at once and realize that you aren’t, and probably will never be, that model student you vowed to be in the beginning of the quarter. You’re just a procrastinator.

2. Apply to jobs and hear back from none of them.

Worse than a rejection because they didn't even bother telling you you didn't make it. The moment when you sit back and contemplate what went wrong, and have to move onto plan M of your life. Plan A, B, C, D... (you get the picture) have already been attempted.

3. Check your bank account.

I have the Chase app on my phone but never check it. Why put myself through unnecessary chest pain? The moment of truth will come on the receipt when I make a *gulp* withdrawal. Judge Judy is me.

4. Go on LinkedIn and stalk past classmates.

The surefire way to make you feel unsuccessful if you aren't already! Seeing accomplished people who have their lives together, people who have internships stacked upon internships with experience that is longer than my entire college career. People partnering with big companies and getting hired by them, and then being forced to watch my computer screen go black, seeing my own reflection staring back at me. I got nothing, it says.

5. Think about the future and figure out how to live a lavish life with no salary.

This could take a while.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
