First step into work after college

Finding a job is a hectic process. The first trial of getting into applying for jobs and waiting for interviews right after graduating. Yes, II heard it all " You're still so young", "You haven't seen anything yet", "Life is not all dreams and rainbows".. yes heard it all I assure you. Not that I am surprised, I expected it. Didn't expect it to be this draining though. Right after my first interview, which was very smooth, I went into a depressing mode, including a mental breakdown and all  *Chef's kiss*.

     The first question I got asked was "Introduce yourself, your experiences, and what makes you special?" 

    "Hi, I...am," I replied on the verge of tears with a big smile.

Good answer huh?

Yup. Queen of nailing interviews, no doubt about it, I got this. No for real I got it. lol.

The interviewer seemed to be extremely understanding even if they were planning to never reach out or see my face ever again, they smiled at me, and said: "Yes I  hear you clearly don't worry". The thing is,  I am worried not you, but sure I'll continue, and that's what I did; discussed my Life in university, my strengths and weaknesses, my interests, and why I'd want to be part of that firm. The words came out of my mouth unfiltered but professional to an extent that made my interviewer laugh sometimes. Most probably thinking " yea, she's definitely a fresh graduate".

    Okay, so why did you break down woman?

No clue. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. If you would like to add your suggestions, you're extremely welcome. Until now, two weeks passes, and I'm not sure why I got so depressed and gut-wrenched after getting interviewed. I am ready for work and responsibility, I am ready for interactions with new people and I was the one who stayed until 7am looking for fresh graduate jobs. Found one, Yes, but why am I taken back?

Is it because of my realization that I joined this major in university just because of how much it would suit me compared to other majors, or is it because I have completely different interests and working in these companies completely demolishes my ability to express my interests?

Maybe, I should get some snacks and binge-watch sad shows and get back to my imaginary cozy life. Til next time.

     Goodnight.. <3
