1.Okay, I've got on my best professional-looking outfit on, printed copies of my resume on nice (and expensive) paper, and I'm ready to SLAY this.
2.Walking in. Feet already hurt in heels. Do NOT fall.
3.Oh, I have to sign in first? O.K.
4.You swipe your student ID and you get a name tag with your academic year AND major on it? How official!
5.I feel PUMPED.
6.A booklet of all the companies here? That will probably come in handy.
7.Alright, now we're off to walk down this long hallway of nothing.
8.Oh, I have to go down an escalator.
9.In heels…..
10.Two escalators.
11.Don't trip. Don't trip. Don't trip.
12.How far down am I going?
13.Jeez there are a lot of people down there….
14.Tripped on the dismount.
15.What a great first impression I'm giving.
16.How are there so many people here?
17.IT'S JUST ANOTHER LOBBY.
18.It's hot in here.
19.How do I already feel hot, I haven't even gotten in yet?
20.Does anyone else look like they're hot?
21.Am I the only person who feels like they're going to sweat through their blouse?
22.I've descended into the pits of HELL.
23.Oh wow, a photo booth to get a professional photo taken.
24.They can post it to your LinkedIn?!
25.I should probably update that soon…it's been like a year.
26.There's kind of a long line. I'll do it on my way out. Probably not, though.
27.I should go into the bathroom and make sure my makeup still looks good.
28.Okay, we're fine here. A few dabs to the face and more lipstick is all I needed.
29.Okay, NOW we're entering the actual career fair.
30.SO. MANY. PEOPLE.
31.Everyone is in all black.
32.I look like Elle Woods next to these people.
33.Although, that's not such a bad thing.
34.She had beauty AND brains.
35.But do I not look professional enough?
36.Oh, well. Nothing I can do about it now. Work it.
37.Confidence is key.
38.This room is HUGE. How many companies are even here?
39.I should probably take a look at the handy dandy booklet I was given.
40.I'll just stand off to the side so I can take a look….
41.157?! IS THIS BOOKLET CORRECT?
42.Where should I even start?
43.I only have, like, 2 hours!
44.Okay, let's not look through the whole booklet. Just flip through it.
45.Oh, there's a map on the back. That's nice of them.
46.This is so large it needs a map.
47.Maybe I should walk around first.
48.I'll start on one end, zigzag through each isle, and browse.
49.Like window shopping!
50.Speaking of shopping, this must be the retail section.
51.Ross, Kohl's, and even Macy's? Classy.
52.I've never heard of this place….
53.But their booth smells AMAZING.
54.They have candles, and free lotion!
55.It's beach themed!
56.I'm definitely talking to them.
57.I can't tell if she likes me….
58.Oh, well she took my resume. That's a good sign.
59.OMG GOODY BAGS.
60.Wow, there's an iPhone case in here!
61.Legit goody bag.
62.Okay, I should probably go to another section.
63.Besides, I don't even know if I want to go into retail.
64.What's this, the BOREDOM section?
65.All financial firms and things I don't care about.
66.Should I talk to one of them though?
67.They've probably got good positions open.
68.I'm not good at math though.
69.Nope. Skipping this section.
70.Okay, what's next?
71.This is the never-heard-of-any-of-these-companies section.
72.Skipping it.
73.I hate walking past booths that no one is at.
74.I feel like they're all staring at me…
75.I feel kind of bad.
76.Not bad enough to stop walking, though.
77.HOLD UP. The CIA is here?!
78.Like the Central Intelligence Agency?
79.I'm definitely going to their booth.
80.I could be like Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality!
81.Big crowd. They're popular.
82.I can hardly hear what the guy is saying.
83.It's probably something really cool, and I'm missing it.
84.Oh, he's taking resumes.
85.TAKE MINE.
86.Success! He took it.
87.My parents will be so proud of me.
88.Okay, time to keep walking in the heels of death.
89.Oh, that booth has an assortment of giant bottles of alcohol.
90.B-line for that booth.
91.Selling alcohol wholesale? I could do that.
92.It's not the CIA, but it's a job.
93.Alright, so far I've given out three resumes.
94.My feet really hurt…
95.How long have I been here?
96.What time is it?
97.IT'S ALMOST OVER?
98.I hardly talked to anyone…
99.I guess it's the experience that counts, right?
100.There's always online applications.
101.So…do I HAVE to graduate?
