My New Years Resolution to More Sleep as a Full Time Student, Single Mother, and Employee
Photo by KRYZHOV/SHUTTERSTOCK With today's society, it is so hard to find time to get more than at least 7 hours of sleep a day. Most adults, whether women or men, are usually busy striving for better lives. Striving for more money, working on their careers, doing schoolwork for high school or college, or even just doing something that includes their hobbies. Possibly binge watching their favorite Netflix series, hanging out with their friends or their love interest, or just browsing Facebook. Whatever it is, it usually doesn't include a whole lot of sleep. Now, that said, I am included in this sleepless frenzy. Between running a daycare for my 7-month-old son day and night, working 8 hours a day and often times working overtime, and working on school projects for another few hours at night, I'm lucky to sleep more than even 5 hours before my son becomes a human alarm clock.

The Terror of a First Time Single Mom
The terror and anxiety I felt before even becoming a mother is unmatched. It was a pit in my stomach I can hardly describe. I was horrified also because this was not only my first baby, but was faced with the possibility of having to raise my child alone. At the time I found out I was pregnant, I just left a really toxic relationship with someone very mentally and emotionally abusive and I knew it was going to be hell having to deal with this person. This person was very combative, insulting, argumentative, and even went as far as trying to pit me against other women at one point in the relationship. So you can imagine what was running through my head at first finding out I was with child, and by said person. I was also terrified because I had no experience with children, other than the kids I got to hold from other people. I had no idea what I was getting myself into at all and I can't lie, I was horrified. I was scared I would lose my baby because of all the stress from his father and I fighting, I was scared I wouldn't be prepared financially, and I also lived in a small apartment and didn't really have space for a baby.

The Top 5 Ways to Attract Any Man You Want, Effortlessly
Intro There’s some of us out there that can relate to the vicious cycle of the dating world. You meet a guy you like, things get hot and heavy, and either you lose interest, or he does quickly, for one reason or another. Sometimes it has nothing to do with the things I’m about to talk about. Sometimes he has way too many children by too many different women. Sometimes, it could be hygiene. Or sometimes, he’s just not your type or on your level. And that could mean on your level in any way. Financially, intellectually, or both. But then, you have the situations where things were great between you two and out of nowhere the situation just sort of dissipated. There’s a reason for this, and the reason is usually a classic case of the guy lost interest because the woman made herself too available. Every woman makes that mistake of making herself too available to a guy in one way or another. Whether that be calling too much, texting too much, or just seeing him too much. But here are a few ways to keep a guy interested and to even get him hooked
