PRE-GRADUATION
[The last week of teacher's college] "What a waste of time. I can't wait for this to be over already." [The last day of classes] "Wohoo! I'm free! Time to live my dream and start a blossoming career as an educator and shape the lives and minds of thousands of children for the better!" POST-GRAD PHASE 1: Quarter-Life Crisis "I need to find a job." "Minimum wage? No way." "I'm over-qualified." "I'm under-qualified." "Why won't they hire me?" "AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH?" [Panics] [Breaks down] POST-GRAD PHASE 2: Reality Check "It's only been two weeks since classes ended, why am I getting so worked up about this job hunting business? I need to relax a little." [Does nothing] POST-GRAD PHASE 3: Guilt "Oh God. Is that... It is..." "...Student loans." "OH PLEASE GOD I WILL TAKE ANY JOB I CAN GET AS LONG AS I DO NOT HAVE TO SACRIFICE MY DIGNITY!" [Breaks down] POST-GRAD PHASE 4: The Return To The Job Hunt [Applies to any and all jobs available] [Gets interview] "What if they want to hire me?" [Panics]
