How To Resign Gracefully
Resigning from a job, especially one you've had for a while, is a hard process and can be emotionally draining. Sometimes, you just want to get it over with. But at the same time, it is crucial -- especially if you want a reference or a good relationship with your soon-to-be-ex-employer -- that you do it professionally and while causing as little harm to your employer as possible.

Scared To Make a Step
We have all been there. You and me and my brother and my mom. The first time I stepped into a club it became my second home. I loved every sound of it, every stripper cage it had (Russian clubs get wild), so my first thought when thinking about my own business in America was to own a mind blowing club with a great theme of which would attract the same type of club lovers I was and would flood my pocket with money and my soul with satisfaction.

How to Stay Sane When Your Laptop Stops Working
It’s every busy person’s waking nightmare, potentially causing untold stress and hardship and striking fear into the hearts of even the most resolute. No, it’s not the cancellation of The Walking Dead. Even worse, it’s when your laptop isn’t functioning as it should or has unexpectedly stopped working altogether!

Questions to Ask Yourself When Planning to Go to College
After you graduate high school, you have one summer left. You celebrate with family or friends, feeling accomplished. You did it! Now comes the hard part: figuring out what you’re going to do for the rest of your life. If you’re not a major procrastinator, then at this point you’ve probably already gotten started looking at colleges, dealing with tuition and finding scholarships to help pay your way through. The rest of the money, you might have to get in Grants and loans and hopefully not get yourself into too much debt. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as it sounds.

With all this on your mind, it’s a wonder you even have time to think about what you want to do with your life at all. Some of you may not even know throughout your first year in college, but that’s okay! You don’t have to figure everything out right now! Give yourself some time to think about these important decisions that you have to make.

19 Years and Counting
19 is a weird year. I kind of knew what I wanted at 18, but then you know, real life had to kick in and change all the rules. Like, having to pay to go in for a check up to needing to pay taxes, which I will say I never learned with my 3.75 GPA.

Testing... 1, 2. Testing. Top Story - June 2017.
This is going to sound a little pointless. I assure you, it's not. Today, I took a retest. That's totally normal; the weird bit is that I aced the thing the first time.
