Whether it's over the phone, from Skype, or in person, job interviews always prove to be a little bit nerve-racking.

No matter what kind of job it is that you are applying to, you definitely feel this type of way before you get a call or an email back.

1. "Geez. How did I do?"

Everyone's initial thought right after an interview. You might already have a good idea of how you think that you did. If you think you might not have done your best, picking on everything that you could have done better on will probably be what you do on the silent drive back to your place. Or if you think you nailed it, you might be totally geeking as you walk out of your interview.

2. "What did they think of me?"

Did I sound smart? Did I seem nervous? Did I make a good impression? Thinking about how the interviewer perceived you during the interview can be a weird thing to think about, but it is a good way to possibly help yourself in other interviews.

3. “Okay if they didn’t like me, there’s always other jobs.”

It is their loss if they don't hire me. It's okay. I'm okay. Not necessarily the end of the world.

4. “Why did I even apply for this job?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/xTk9Zxw5LoEOuCLCQE/giphy.gif

Do I even want to work here?? I mean, am I THAT desperate? Is getting paid...worth it?

5. “My resume stands out, I think.”

https://media.giphy.com/media/11wsZr0jbXc15m/giphy.gif

After rereading my very ~ impressive ~ resume, I realize that I must be the most hireable person that applied to this position. I mean, come on.

6. “Is this what all job interviews are like?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/Lcn0yF1RcLANG/giphy.gif

So this is what it's like to apply for a real job.

7. “I didn’t even answer the question right..”

https://media.giphy.com/media/xUPN3zWOUeA4PgKOkM/giphy.gif

Looking back at the interview questions, I don't think that my answer even made sense. Wait, actually I think it did...

8. “What if I hate this job?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/11RIDouEyKZ116/giphy.gif

What if this job isn't even what it says it is? I'm just going to hope that I am not going to regret this.

9. “I think I got this one.”

https://media.giphy.com/media/uhXHCg4IWzozu/giphy.gif

Why wouldn't they give me this job? I would call myself over qualified, in fact.They would be crazy to not hire me.

10. “Why haven’t they called me back?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/13yTWxNez02T2o/giphy.gif

You know, they haven’t called me back but, I am going to take that as a compliment because they are trying to find someone better than me. And they can’t.

11. Okay, it's not the end of the world, if I don't get this."

I didn't want a job anyways!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
