A Job Shouldn't Be A Job

A Job Shouldn't Be A Job

Finding a job you love is very important. Everyday I walk through the large beautiful brown wooden door and down the hall ways with white tile floor, and sky high ceilings. On my way to my hostess stand I get greeted by everyone I walk past. The staff is so special and kind. The managers are all a joy to work with and the chef is my favorite. He is the happiest guy there and is always sneaking me food. The members are also a joy to be around.

I am surrounded by so many successful and accomplished people who are wealthy beyond belief. What amazes me the most is that so many of the members are actually extremely humble. They talk to me, smile, tell jokes, and are always interested to see what is going on in my life and how I am doing in school. There are business men, code writers, entrepreneurs, and even an Olympic athlete. Working at a country club I have learned so much.

This past week I worked a fundraiser and the members raised over two million dollars for nine charity foundations from donations through raffle tickets and a silent auction. I was so shocked when I heard the total amount donated and so inspired that these people have the heart to give away such large sums of money. The generosity was incredible and I can only wish to be able to be the same way when I am older.

Being surrounded by these people who are so accomplished inspires me. I am only a college student and am trying to find my career and what I want to do when I grow up and these people all have had life times filled with success and achievement that I can learn from. I have gained so many friendships and experience while working here and it is such a positive place. I believe that when we think about the jobs and internships we chose to partake; we should first think about what kind of environment we want to be in. Who you surround yourself with makes a huge difference in how the work day goes and whether you are happy at your job. People should never settle in a job that they are not happy to have. Continue to search until you find the right fit. We should all strive to find a job that inspires us to do our best, we look forward to going to, and generally brings happiness to our lives!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
