We all knew this day would come, we just didn't want to admit it. Yet here we are, a few hours, days, or weeks before graduation, desperately searching for someone to hire us so we can live the baller lives we've always dreamed of. Below are the 10 stages of the dreaded job search, as told by gifs.

1. You start to realize you won't be in school forever and in order to have nice things you should probably find a job.

2. You begin the tedious job search in hopes of finding your dream job.

3. You perfect your resume so it shows them how awesome you truly are.

4. Scrolling through jobs, you find that most companies require 3+ years of experience.

5. You immediately begin to question your every move and wish you can run away from all your responsibilities and be a kid again.

6. You begin to resent the concept of cover letters, because who actually reads them anyway?

7. You hit apply on every job you can find.

8. You wait by your phone, expecting any sign of contact from the job you just applied to.

9. When you don't hear back, you conclude that you're just too good for that job anyway.

10. You start the process all over again and hope that you'll figure this whole adult thing out eventually.
