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 never really felt like I fit in. Being quite an introvert and a homebody, I’ve felt myself try to change on many occasions to please other people and to just be accepted. I’ve tried to be the girl that was too cool for school. The girl that only kept a few friends, hated all…
Meet cute: a scene in film, television, etc. in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time in a way that is considered adorable, entertaining, or amusing.

I think there is a lot of pressure to be happy. When you work somewhere, when you're out with your friends, when you're in a relationship...everyone assumes that because of where you are, you should be happy. But that's really not always the case and it's not always because of the people around you. You…
Hey you! You did it! And I am so unbelievably proud of you. I know high school sucked and you've been looking forward to college for the past four years. I also know you currently feel held back, scared, and unsure. It's okay that you made your school choice based off of proximity. You may…
We're busy people. We work, we have friends, we have families, some of us have kids, some of us have pets. Some of us go to school, some have more than one job, some are just busy. It's hard to find time for a vacation and it's hard to find money for vacation. Some jobs…
