Things to Do Instead of Stressing About Finding a Job

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pace chapter.

Being a college senior is stressful in ways I didn’t even know were possible! Finding job openings, finishing school and still trying to enjoy your last moments before full adulthood don’t always mix well together. So here is a list of things to do once you’ve sent those applications in and you’re stressing about getting interviews!

  1. Study! Chances are you still have homework do and you can refocus your energy into your final college assignments.
  2. Volunteer! Spend some time volunteering. Now that you’re almost done with school you have time to give back to the community that has given you so much!
  3. Actually enjoy a book! I’ve spent most of school reading things that I enjoyed but were dense and draining. Pick up that fiction book and actually enjoy the material you’re reading.
  4. Spend time with your pals! You all have probably had crazy schedules that have kept you from fully enjoying time together, so take advantage of this in-between time. Go grab drinks and just chill for a moment.
  5. RELAX! The right job will come along and as long as you’re putting in the work, things will work out the way they are meant to. So don’t stress and let the universe do its thing. 
Hey there! My name is Alexis and I'm a senior at Pace University where I am double majoring in Peace & Justice Studies and Communication Studies with minor in Women and Gender Studies. I am the Campus Corespondent for Her Campus Pace and love watching our organization grow. I just got back from spending Spring semester in Florence, Italy and traveling throughout Europe for a month this summer. When I'm not running around between school and my internship, I can be found exploring the city with my friends, checking out some art at MoMA, binge watching Gilmore Girls, Friends or whatever new show has caught my attention or planning my next trip. I believe writing is one of the best tools we have for personal expression and activism!
