Today was my first day at my new internship and, much like every first day I’ve had when I started working somewhere new, I was excited, happy, grateful, overwhelmed and a little lost, all at different points throughout the day. The work day itself went by quickly, yet so much happened. I met a bunch … Continue reading

I GOT A JOB!
Attention blogging world: I got a job. I repeat: I got a JOB! 😀 After nearly five months of being unemployed, I’m back in the working world again! It’s true. It’s finally happened.

My Dreams vs. My Reality
For those of you keeping score at home, I’ve officially been out of work for four months now. Yay. -_- I’m sad and disappointed in myself, to be honest. I feel like I’ve run out of options, and now, I really feel like I’m just going to have to take any job, even if it’s … Continue reading

One moment as I Google it… Ah, yes: “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist; that is all.” … Continue reading

Hi. It’s been a while. Well, not really, but to me it has, considering I started this blog nearly a week ago and I’m already kind of slacking on it. That’s my lazyness shining through. My bad. I’ll try to keep some sort of schedule with updating this blog. Possibly once a week or so. … Continue reading
First Post
Well, this is my first blog post. I have no idea what the hell I’m doing or if anyone is even reading this. If so, hello. If not, oh well. The reason I’ve started this blog is because I’ve been told that it’s important to leave your digital footprint especially in today’s day and age … Continue reading
