When I was a kid, my dad would watch Jeopardy after work and it was like he knew every answer. I often wondered how he just knew everything. And as I get older, I see all these people around me who are so smart and filled with knowledge, and I wonder how they know so…
Another interview question I really enjoyed was what is the most important thing you've learned in the past 5 years? I know a lot of people would expect answers about skill. Like I learned how to write better, I learned how to be a better public speaker, I learned more about my audience or how…

While job interviewing is grueling, it is cool to see how interview styles differ from person to person, from company to company. One of the best questions I was asked was: what have you learned recently? It’s a good question because it’s basically asking if you’re evolving, growing, bettering yourself all on your own volition.…
I've always been lazy. And I'm lucky in the fact that I can be lazy and still get places. In high school, I was a B/C student with an A here or there. I did the bare minimum, I didn't try very hard at all. I am pretty smart, just really lazy, so I was…
I don't have much confidence in myself. I often describe myself as awkward, uncomfortable, not a very emotional person. And physically, I'm even meaner to myself. So when my confidence is knocked down a peg, it's pretty detrimental to me. I've had my eyes opened a lot lately. Although I'm hard on myself, I do…
I've been struggling with imposter syndrome a lot recently. My boyfriend and I have had to have a lot of discussion about our future careers. Where we see ourselves going, where we would need to live, what we really want to do. And it makes me question myself a lot. I've been with the same…

For a very small part of this summer, I thought graduating was the best thing that happened to me. I was very wrong. College, without a doubt, was the best four years of my life. I couldn't have asked for anything more from the school I chose. I left with a degree that I felt…

For someone who has lived in the same state for 18 years, I don't particularly like being stagnant. I like to consistently meet new people, do new things, and never stop learning. That's why I love being an intern. I had an internship almost every year that I was in college and even if some…
I've resisted school ever since I was young. Waking up early only to sit at a desk for hours a day just didn't make sense to me. I never put in my full effort. Not in middle school, not in high school, and not in college. I paid attention as little as I needed to…
