#college grad problems

[heyy-m]

I applied for a job and didn’t realize I had already applied for it a week before. My cover letter was much better this time though. But they’re going to use the previous one. *sigh* OTL

do you ever think you're a straight up bamf and then realize you're a middle class white girl in sweatpants driving through the suburbs listening to music nobody's heard of on the way to a useless job where you work at a call center and think, "oh,"?

...me neither.

I know it’s you, alumni office, and I do not have the money to donate to the school.  I’m still paying loans.  Also, I’m 23.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

-Confucius

It really does take a lot of courage to follow your dreams. I feel afraid and unsure but I know that if other people can do it, so can I. I don't want to regret not trying. No matter how long it takes, I will do it. I'm afraid of failure but I won't let it deter me. I will try and then at least, I will know that I tried. I'm going to be taking baby steps but I will be moving forward.

Whenever I feel anxious about an upcoming interview, I remember that I BS'd a whole semester of weekly presentations with the prickliest professor ever and gain back my confidence (most of it anyway).

Me thinking in my head while prepping for a job interview: *comes up with great ideas and great answers and great questions.* Dang, I really know how to BS these things. I’m gonna do great.

Me during the interview: *stutters* well...umm...(What is my name?)
