Pet peeves

Every day I am challenged at Brandsoul, my internship. I am constantly learning, which is a good thing. This is seriously, the first job I have ever had that required me to actually use my brain. I am very amazed! And shocked! Life gets no easier after college, let me tell you.

Aside from that, I just looked back over a cover letter that my friend had edited for me. He said it was fine and printed it out. I foolishly believed him. After looking over it again today out of curiosity, I found it filled with typos in the most obvious places. What the FFFF?! This was supposed to go to my #1 choice in internship right now – that he incidentally works for. Life was not designed to be fair. It was designed to be cut throat and vicious. At least that is what American society dictates it should be. That is why we are so successful. Though with this whole escapade, I am left so disappointed and aggravated that this had to happen. No wonder I have not heard back from them even though it is their busy season and my resume kicks serious ass.

Alas, one good thing did come from this discovery. I can now add ‘typos’ to one of my major pet peeves in life.
