The past few days have been a whirlwind of crazy, the type that make you stare intently at the sidewalk in the small hope that it won’t get directed at you. Even though I’ve been running all over the city enjoying my favorite holiday weekend, I did pause to reflect on the fact that all […]

You guys, I tried, I really did. Here’s the thing, in the past thirty days I seriously learned what my obstacles are, where I continuously fail myself, and how others manage to get past all these excuses. Okay, it doesn’t help that I’m drinking a Coke as I write this, but in my defense I […]

My overall theme for this year was to live for me more, which I talked about a little in my word of the year post. The two things I love to do are blog and travel, both cost a little money, but the latter definitely more. Keeping those two things in mind I’ve been more […]

During college I never had a job, and to be honest, I hadn’t actually held a paying position anywhere since I was fourteen. Without a real need for extra money (my tuition and rent was paid for with my scholarships) I chose to instead use all my free time to volunteer and involve myself with […]

Starting your first job is stressful for so many reasons. By the time your first day arrives the excitement of being hired has faded away and all you’re left with worrying if you even meet the job requirements and if your coworkers will be giant pains in the ass. On top of everything else, you […]
