Job Fairs As Told By Charlotte La Bouff
Princess Perspective

Job fairs are a great place for networking and interviews. However, a weekend long job fair can induce a variety of emotions from misery to ecstasy. And who better to explain mood swings than Charlotte La Bouff from "Princess and the Frog."

1. When you wake up at 7 a.m. to get ready...

Usually after driving six-plus hours to get to the convention.

2. When you walk into the fair on the first day with all the confidence of a freshly weened lamb.

3. When that confidence swiftly disappears when you see the vast amount of companies and people.

There are so many companies to interview with and so little time!

4. When you're next in line for the interview.

Get all your panicking out now cause in a few seconds you're going to have to be calm, cool and collected.

5. When you walk up to initiate the handshake.

You're fabulous!

6. When you explain your resume/portfolio and realize they couldn't care less.

7. When your interview goes terribly, but you have another at the next booth.

Maybe this time...I'll be lucky...just maybe...

8. When you struggle to keep a smile as they explain their program's entire history and mission.

9. When you find out they have a stipend and housing.

$300 a week with free housing on the beach? Yes please.

10. When *that* company keep approaching you for an interview.

You want me to work for free? I said, "No, thank you."

11. When you interview with your dream company.

12. When you get your dream job.

Whether you attended SETC or some other job fair, best of luck!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

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.

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

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. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
