I honestly can't stand all of the articles I read that are like "You're in your 20's! Quit your job and open up an ice cream shack in the Bahamas!" or "Don't worry about getting a job - backpack through Europe and find yourself!" Come on, in my early 20s I lived with my parents…
Do you live to work or work to live? I swore to myself that I'd never be the kind of person who lives to work. Who thinks about their job all the time. Who misses out on life because they were too busy working. I struggle with work/life balance and to understand office culture. There…
I once read that anxiety tortures you twice, it hits you leading up to the thing you see anxious about and then you have anxiety once that thing actually occurs. Double the anxiety for one thing. I’ve always gotten in my own way on things. I had actually given up on the job I currently…
When it comes to my career, I’ve always felt like I was just going wherever life takes me. It’s been hard to carve out a path. I recently left the job I got after getting laid off and started a new job. Getting laid off was a really big blow, I had been with the…

Some people deserve the world and some people just don't. Some people get what they want easily, some work hard for it, and some don't get anything at all. We all know that life isn't fair. We live it, breathe it, see it, and participate in it. So why do we constantly think we are…
