Job Hunting In College As Told By The Office
ign.com

Being a student is hard enough, but when it comes to finding internships and summer jobs frustration reaches an all time high. Endless interviews, online applications, and hoping employers don't notice that you aren't exactly what they're looking for is stressful and what better way to express frustration and a lack of progress than the office? Here is the process of job hunting as a college student told by the office.

When your parents keep telling you to start looking for jobs and you put it off because you don't feel like it.

When you finally sit down and get started thinking you'll be done quickly, but three hours later you still haven't found anything.

When you read what the company does so you can pretend whatever they do is your passion and don't know what any of the words mean.

When you send out a bunch of emails that you wrote, reread, proof-read, edited, and used a thesaurus for only to get a one sentence response with "sent from my iphone" at the bottom.

When you know there's nothing on your resume, but you have a great personality.

When no one will give you an interview so they'll never witness that great personality.

When you eventually find a job that you're somewhat qualified for, but its unpaid.

When you leave your interview feeling confident that they were amazed by your charm.

When they "decide to go in a different direction".

When you realize job hunting is too hard and decide to give up to live a life of minimalism.

When you swallow your pride and take any job you can get despite the lack of pay, dignity, and relevance to you imagined career.

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

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.
