Signs You Work In A Campus Call Center

I think that it is safe to say that a job in a call center is a job like no other. Working in your campus call center talking with alumni can be a really fun job but, like I said, it's a job like no other. There are all kinds of ways that your call center job affects you. Here are 20 distinctive signs that you work in your campus call center.

1. You can spout off all kinds of facts about your university.

2. Whenever you do start talking about these facts, you immediately switch into your phone voice.

3. You constantly have to tell people that your job isn't as bad as it sounds, and yes, you really do love your job.

4. You handle rejections really well.

5. Nothing makes your day more than a prospect who is super nice and talkative.

6. You can keep a good attitude even when someone is yelling at you.

7. You're good at awkward filler chat when the computer is being really slow.

8. You get an immense sense of pride when you get through all of your ask levels.

9. Catching a cold and losing your voice is the worst thing that can happen to you.

10. When a prospect has an unpronounceable name, you hope they don't answer.

11. If they do answer, you just stumble through and hope for the best.

12. The feeling of dread when someone answers right as the shift is ending.

13. You live to hear great stories of when the alumni were still in school.

14. You're good at sounding 100 percent confident about things you're not entirely sure about.

15. The joy of the short, unexpected "technical difficulties" breaks.

16. We are the nicest customers in the world, especially when on the phone.

17. The embarrassment of accidentally talking to an answering machine is real.

18. You love verifying weird email addresses.

19. Your coloring skills have improved immensely since you started your job.

20. "I completely understand..."

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.
