I got my ears pierced at 15. I was so scared my sweaty legs clung to the vinyl seat. I only got the courage cause my sister had hers done at the same time. reply
To all the people that replied, I'm gonna give you an advice...4 months I graduated from college, I was fricking stressed about getting a job...funny thing a week later I was called from the place where I did my internship, now I'm working there...how? I was overly stressed, my stomach made feel sick even, but I kept my composure and a poker face, ...... reply
That sounds... ouch...?
My recommendation would be getting the piercing done in a pharmacy (if you haven't already since it's the safest), and also buying a piercing ring there. Sure it will be more pricey, but it's always better to be safe. reply
Probably the oldest replying but.... No university but 3 apprenticeships and not able to get a job in the moment. Searching for 2 years already. Motivation is around zero percent and it isn't getting better with each rejection. reply
So.... I'm a bit younger than the people that have already replied (19 years old), but I'm a college student and I definitely feel the same way. I have this anxiety, not sure if social anxiety exactly but human interaction with strangers just terrifies me and I dread it. Unless it's friends or people that I get really well with.

21 y.o. here. I think it's only natural to get stressed at this stage of our lives.

I was so stressed when I had to choose my major, I can't even imagine how tough it will be when I will have to find a job....... 2 reply
Aye Aye. 21 and desperate. Also totally broke and not really good or acomplished at anything. Also because I was hospitalized for a while I had to drop out of school. So life is just great. Good to know I'm not the only one with problems though. 1 reply
Any college aged people on here? 23 years old. Business major. Is anyone else currently hardcore stressing out about finding internships, networking, going to career fairs, etc? How do you find the motivation to make yourself keep going? :/ I'm good with small talk, but I'm such a terrible and awkward interviewer...I let myself get discouraged about how people around me are so much more competitive and more qualified than me.
I also have this irrational fear that I won't be able to ever get a job after graduating because I don't have internships, relevant experience in my field etc.
