So I finished school with a very good degree and my teacher said that I can get almost every job with it. The thing is that I never wrote an application before. I know that it needs to be catchy, but I am so fucking uncreative. I looked up for tips, but they don't really help me to continue this. I'm sitting here since 4 hours and I'm so fucking clueless. Seems like everyone can write an application except me. I'm not stupid but this is just suffering and I hate it. I also don't have anyone who can help me since I live alone and I have no friends
How the fuck do you write an application?
what do you have so far?

you need to switch perspective and put yourself into the shoes of the person hiring. if you would have to choose between a lot of appliants, what would you look for? what would make you drop someone? what would grab your attention? what would make you consider inviting that person to a job interview?

I get it, but I'm not them

no, obviosuly you aren't. so you have to make assumptions. it's a 50/50 chance you hit the nail on the head or you don't. but it's worth a try.
you don't know what the people looking over your resume want. maybe it's someone who wants a very professional person. or they want someone to have fun with at the office.
look at it this way: do you want to get hired by someone who wants you differently than you are? probably not. so write it like it were you hiring someone. if that person likes it, chances are she or e has similar priorities and values to you, which is already a stellar start to finding a job you really love. there's no use in trying to inpress people that will never be impressed by you. you can only stay authentic and hope your resume lands on the right desk.
Wtf? What country is this?
Usually in the us it's all digital applications and sending a cover letter and resume

I think you have the wrong mindset. No matter how good your degree is, you'll never be able to get "any" job. It's always a numbers game. Don't pressure yourself too much on this particular job. Expect to write dozens of dozens of applications.
Keeping in mind that this is only one of many opportunities for you, everything will go much easier. Don't obsess too much over this one application, just start to write something up. And then re iterate. And then repeat until you have something you deem okay. And then send it and start your next application. Hang in

Hm, yeah youre probably right
