A Day In the Life of a Freelancer
I more or less ended up falling into freelancing quite by accident, even though writing for a living was what I’d always wanted to do. I came to my present job after a half-arsed sending of my CV to a content mill, not even thinking they’d bother to read it—but they did, offered me an interview online and a quick writing test and a few days later I got the job. Sometimes all the planning in the world can’t prepare you for that kind of thing happening.

Poor Girl's Guide to a Budget that Works
I have a confession. I've never tried Avocado Toast. The idea of guacamole on bread when there is a perfectly good chip right there is foreign to me.

Is University Right For You?
If you're reading this, then you're probably wondering if university is the right choice for you. As I write this, I'm having the same thought. Let me explain. Mid-way through high school I discovered my passion in life. Or at least one passion in life. I wanted to be an aerospace engineer. I wanted to build new and ever evolving technologies for space. It was then I realized the work it would take to get there. It would mean buckling down, studying hard to get into a good university and graduating top of my class. It started off great. As soon as I began to apply myself, school work became no problem and my grades quickly rose to highest in the school. After graduating I set my sights high by apply to the University of Bristol overseas. I was accepted and my life was right on track. But things don't always go according to plan as I'll explain later. But whether you're currently in University or taking a gap year or whether you're just a high school student wondering if this is the path you should take. I will tell you my story and hopefully give you some helpful insight into your own position and desires. So if you're still with me, just hang in a little longer and we'll get to you.

I don't know what it is about going to the movies that makes everyone lose their wits and common courtesy but it's outrageous.

Success is a funny thing. It can be quite elusive. It can also be jaded, like an ex-lover that you used to enjoy tumbling around with. And just like that ex-lover of yours, the way you saw him/her was as clear as day at the time of courtship. But then something happened. Life got in the way. It has a habit of doing that. It's a mightily intrusive habit, but it happens pretty much every single day.
