During lockdown, you may find yourself in a situation where you can't get any alone time. Or you may find yourself in a situation where you have too much alone time because you live alone. Personally, I live with my boyfriend so during this pandemic we've been spending a lot of time together. For the…
It’s been almost a full year since I last traveled, which is quite the culture shock to someone who was traveling out of country at least twice a year and supplementing that often with domestic travel. I used travel to escape. Escape the mundane 9-5. Escape the real world just for a little. It was…
When talking about unemployment, I often talk about how many companies ghost you after you send in an application. You might get a confirmation the application was received, you might now, and you most likely will never hear from them again. I’ve applied to around 25 jobs now, most of which I didn’t hear back…
1. Cry about itOh yea, I cried. I silently sobbed when they told me my position was eliminated, I cried every time someone said something nice to me. Just feel all your feelings because it sucks and you deserve to let it out. 2. Cut the tiesWhen you get laid off, your company is pretty…

We got our answers, we adjusted to a life of social distancing. I've grown accustom to working from home, even though it presents it's…
How did we get here? Feels like days ago I received an emergency text from my company telling us to work from home. I had to go into the office a few days later just to get my things and my plants because I wasn't really expecting it. And now, over a month later, I…
Turns out, I wasn't lying to myself. My go-to excuses in life are that I'm too tired or I don't have the time. With the stay at home orders, I have more time on my hands. My work day is kind of scattered, I never know when things will pop up. So that leaves some…
We took COVID-19 seriously from the beginning. We knew it was going to be bad, to be devastating. But it's hard to really know what it's going to look like next week or next month. I'm on two weeks of social distancing, it is now my new normal. I work from home and the only…
