10 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Panic Sell
Back when I was very young, I was told the story of Chicken Little. Do you remember that tale? If you don't, let me refresh you on this classic childhood story and the moral it has.

I Needed a Creative Outlet—and This Is Why You Need One Too
I have a morning routine: Catch the same train at the same time, sit in the same seat, drinking my coffee that I make for myself in the mornings, and listening to my music that drowns out the chatter from the people around me. I go to my 9 to 5 and then take the same train back home, at the same time sit, in the same seat... you know the drill. I am a creature of habit and patterns. I just need structure and rules. However, over a period of time, this just wasn't the case anymore.

How to Grow a Blog
Growing a blog is about a lot more than just followers and other metrics. Especially if you're blogging about particular niche area, engagement with the community in that niche matters. The more engaged you are with others, the more likely you are to grow a core group of followers who are highly engaged with your blog. Don't be surprised if, as your blog grows, a lot of your followers seem to forget your blog exists once they've clicked that follow button. Those people may boost your follower numbers, but they do nothing towards maintaining a lively community on your blog.

Why Everybody Is Dropping Their 9 to 5 and Traveling—and Will It Kill Our Work Force?
First off, today's society is so different than it was even a decade ago. Social media is now a thing, and people are enjoying spreading their individuality and doing what they love. Because it has been a pastime for years now, social media has never been taken seriously and has just been thought of as websites to make friends off of and share ideas—but now, people are making an income off of it and businesses are growing due to it. So, who's the joke now? So many people are hopping on this and trying to learn how to be successful off of it. They're dropping their jobs now. This is amazing, because even five or 10 years ago, this would never been thought of—at least not as much as it is now.

Why I've Swapped Full-Time for Freelancing
It was 2 PM on a Saturday afternoon. Here I was, splayed out across my bed with my forehead buried in piles of damp pillows.

An Open Letter to School Districts: Where Is the Money for Performing Arts?
There is no drama class at Cypress High School. The couch with wheels featured in black and white pictures of past productions still sits in the green room, a tiny space adjacent to the theater and choir room. The stage that is barely raised off of the ground and somehow runs at an odd diagonal line still knows the feeling of its heavy black curtains sweeping to a close at the end of school. A giant, opening-and-closing door that was used in some odd production of Legally Blonde decades ago is resting in a storage room a few feet away. Yes, there is no drama class at Cypress High School, but the theater is still filled with the magic and sparkle of performance.

How to Handle Being Bullied at School
Having been bullied throughout my school career, I can honestly say that the current school system rewards bullies more than it punishes them. Bullying was the reason why I dropped out, and why most of my friends do not have college degrees either.
