So i'm watching "Totally Biased" with my dad right now... and he is wearing these silly pajama pants with guitars all over them. OH and Kim & Kourtney will be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.... you obviously know who's gonna tune into that.... me of course. I wish "Parenthood" wasn't over...Tuesday nights aren't the same anymore....until next season at least.
Anyways... i've thought long and hard about this, and i've realized... i definitely have a love/hate relationship with the job-search process. I've always made myself all stressed out, but especially now being in college and trying to find internships... man oh man is there alot of pressure. Okay, maybe it's just the pressure i put on myself, but whatever. I'm fortunate to have found one already and got to intern over the past summer and winter break... but the process that led me to it was no walk in the park. I began my internship search in November of last year... and I didn't land my internship until Memorial Day Weekend. Keep in mind, I probably made about atleast 50 phone calls to atleast 30 companies, applied to atleast 20 places, and went on 3 interviews. So much effort, to possibly get ONE job. The crazy things we do to get employed now, huh? My parents thought i was crazy to try to intern so early, but i don't think they realize, it's practically normal for students to intern before they graduate... and at multiple places! I think that's why i put so much pressure on myself... but of everyone else i see around me. I naturally never want to fall behind, so i push myself (to the point i go crazy)... oops. And even though i'm still on crutches, i decided to hand-deliver one of my resumes to one of the companies i was in touch with.... and even though i almost fell on my face on the steps when opening the door... i realize (with the help of my boyfriend and parents) that the job-process is about never giving up, and doing anything you can to stand out. So what better way of standing out then hand-delivering a resume on crutches?! I tried to look professional while on crutches and a wrapped-up foot... i did my best.
And at the end of the day, even if i still have no new internship... i still got my kitty, who i have to cuddle with for a few more days before i head back to Delaware!! (Sorry i'm obsessed with her, and sorry if you're my snapchat friend because i love sending photos of her to everyone on my friends list hehehe)
