'Tis the Season
By Sandy
"When you're 10 years old, everyone else seems old to you. I remember when I was that age, my baby-sitter (who was 16) was ancient, and did ancient-like things (like watch soap operas, which I failed to understand whatsoever at that age). My biggest concern was if I really had to brush my teeth, not if my car payments were on time. High heels were fascinating... every kid in my daycare could recognize the gait of his or her mother, walking down the hallway to pick them up in the evening.
I never really figured out when I crossed that line to feeling "older" but sometimes it really hits you. And I'm sure it hits everyone, at all ages (even the 16 year olds who discover that they have the ability to legally maneuver a giant contraption on wheels, publicly). It hits me especially hard when I visit my college campus and see how much has changed (or not changed). I still walk around with a backpack sometimes (and with a little luck, my student ID still gets me movie ticket discounts) but it's really not the same anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy to be out of school, but part of me will always remember the discovery that "holy crap, I have to feed myself!" (That feeling is usually followed by "awww yeah, I get to eat whatever I want!")
The reason I write this post is that the time of job fairs is here, and whenever this season comes around, it always reminds me of what it felt like for me, to be looking for a job, coming out of school. Whenever I participate in these fairs—as a job applicant seeker, not an applier—it's as if I've turned the tables on my younger self... and that makes me feel just a tad older.
I'd like to tell all the soon-to-be grads out there that we understand your nervousness, your confidence, your insecurities, and your hopes. Heck, I get nervous all over again just writing this post, remembering to when I had to go through it. But one day, you'll be on the other side of the table. And even though you'll feel older (hopefully richer) and more secure in your place in the world, always remember what it felt like to be the one grasping a packet full of resumes, nervous about your first interview, and hoping you didn't make any spelling errors on your resume.
Best of luck to everyone out there!
cheers,

Some random meebo post. But I actually liked this one. :]
That is all.
