this little LIFE of mine

Okay...maybe it's just me but doesn't it make TOO much since for colleges to offer a course for your senior year in which ALL you do is learn how to search for jobs and then ultimately find a job? 

No...

There I go again having too much common sense.

I hate when I do that.

But for real, isn't this the ultimate reason for college?

I mean yes, the fun and the people you meet are great and life long friendships/ relationships... yadda yadda yadda

But I mean ultimately, you spend thousands of dollars a year to be able to get a job in the future that does not require you to ask "would you like fries with that"

Job searching is stressful. 

Notice how I'm posting about jobs just about everyday now?

Well I'm doing this for two reasons...

1. Because searching for jobs has actually become a job as of late

and

2. Because I'm praying hoping that one of you lovely readers will see this and say 

"Oh EM GEE I have the perfect job for you...everyday the staff will hoist you over their heads and chant 'sa-rah beth, sa-rah beth' because you are just SO PERFECT for this job!"

I realize that they don't do this at any job.

I also realize that this may be exactly what's wrong with America.

Okay, I'm done with my job rant today and I promise to try and keep the job-talk to a minimum in the future...because I'm sure reading about my job searching is the only thing that gets you out of bed in the morning.

I saw this the other day and it really put a smile on my face and made me think about what really matters in life.  I hope this makes you smile too :)
