It’s a Really Hard Time to Be a Writer
Freelance writing, blog posts, and anything remotely related to Internet writing aren’t for the faint of heart.

I Keep Having the Same Annoying Dreams
I am 13 weeks pregnant. Over the past few weeks, I've been super tired. I've barely wanted to do anything. The sites I work for have been dipping when it comes to earnings and traffic, so that is partly to blame for the demotivation I've been feeling. (Why bother putting in effort for a few cents?)

Please Stop Complaining About Student Loan Forgiveness
Picture: Unsplash, Honey Yanibel Minaya Cruz Think Twice Before You Complain In almost every corner, I’m finding complaints about student loan forgiveness. People on my Facebook feed seem to think their ideas on student loans are worth an audience (they’re not). Even though President Joe Biden has announced that college students will receive $10,000 in loan forgiveness and Pell Grant recipients will receive another $10,000, no one has been granted this yet. Those who would be relieved to have this cancellation are hoping this promise won’t be a fairy tale.
