    I remember applying online for work study jobs as a freshman. Every single application required me to provide three references, but I could only give two (maybe that sounds weird, but just take my word for it lol). I ended up just filling the third with N/As, except they had to fit the input requirements so it was weird stuff like “notanemailaddress@empty.com”. I put a note in the comments at the end to explain it, but I only heard back from two of the dozens of positions I applied for, and I couldn’t help but think that was a reason. But idk, what else was I supposed to do? ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ

    It all worked out tho, and I absolutely love the job I have now. And thank fuck, I’ll have no shortage of references next time. Thanks for reading if you got this far lmao.
