The Truth About Being a College Freshman. Top Story - October 2018.
Before you move into college, everyone will have something to say about what to bring and how fun it is going to be, but what college is really like is different from anything you'd ever expect.

How to Motivate Your Employees to Come to Work
We've all dreaded going to our 9 to 5 jobs, for many more reasons than one. For starters, the pay rate sucks. Not to mention, more often than not, the people you work with also suck. Many managers and top-tier leaders often want to get the job done as effectively and as efficiently as possible. This can lead to negligence amongst the employees and the contingent workforce, which, from personal experience, really sucks. And how could I forget the immense pressure that is laid upon workers to get their jobs done? My mom had her role in the workplace threatened by her boss on the daily, which ultimately made her dread her job even more. What about our lives outside of the office? What about our families, our friends, and our significant others? How are we supposed to sustain healthy relationships with the ones we love when we're staying extra late at the office everyday? Two words: This. Sucks.

The Selfish Truth
I know once you looked at my title, the first thought that could have come to mind was "how rude" or "this is not right." Well, if you give me a few minutes of your time, I will prove to you that this is the missing piece. We're told from when the time we're toddlers that being selfish is wrong. We must share and give to others. As we become an adult this idea stays with us and we live our everyday life like this. But let me as a question: Have you been a giver so much that you felt as if you were empty? Or you seem to be the only one, but your emotional state is failing. Well, let me help you out. The day you become a selfish giver will be worth it. Yes, you read that sentence right. I used being selfish and giver in the same voice. This is because a selfish giver has the ability to enjoy their opportunity to serve. They find that being selfish gives them the greatest joy. Let's break this down.

The Post-Grad Reality
"I hope you are prepared to explain yourself." This is a phrase I have heard more than once from the individuals in academia who are more ready to abase than they are to praise or respect your decision.

You Will Fail
You will fail. Get up and get over it. You’ll be thankful for it later . Hello loves, and welcome to my first official blog entry. A sort of morbid way to start, but I have a weird sense of humor. But I do mean this. You will fail. Whether you like it or not, though I don’t know anyone who likes to fail at things. It’s a hard lesson to learn, but definitely an impacting one. A lesson I keep learning repeatedly. In the words of Sansa Stark:

What to Look for in a Financial Advisor. Top Story - October 2018.
If the words "personal finance" give you a headache, you're not alone. But the process of finding an honest person who can help you with your financial planning is even more stressful—especially if you don't know what to look for in a financial advisor. If you don't know what to look for, you could end up with someone who doesn't work in the client's best interests. It happens all the time.

My Ability to Read Thoughts
If all else fails, as I got a bunch of job rejection emails today. I feel screwed over yet again, wondering if I will ever get a real job. I feel down about my job situation only because I haven’t found the right fit. I could get an insurance license if I had $200 to pay for that. But until I do, I haven’t necessarily taken the time. Yes, my astrology chart does detail that I should work as a professional psychic. I feel weird asking for money because of that though. I mean I want to be a free healer but asking for money is weird for me. A tele-empath is the same thing as a psychic only more specific.

Unemployment - First Timer
Today I’m making a change. I’m walking away from my General Manager position—a position that has taken over my life these past seven months. I have worked 70-hour work weeks, six days a week, on and off for eight months. A cellphone glued to my hand even on my days off, constantly checking emails, calls, schedule requests, or text messages from employees. Even during family days, 3,000 miles away for a girl's weekend trip, my parents coming to visit for a few days, etc. Managing over 70 employees, four managers, vendors, partnerships, events, and so on.
