The Life and Death of a Paper
Every student knows that crushing feeling of being assigned a paper. It’s like your stomach is falling and you just added another weight to your already drooping shoulders at the same time. Not only the fact that you have to juggle it with your other coursework, but what are you supposed to write about?

Writing Your First Online Piece
For many people, writing something and putting it online for people to see and read is a very daunting prospect. The thought of either someone reading your words and hating them, or worse, nobody reading them at all, is usually one of the main fears. However, my main thing to remember is that there are so many people who read tabloid crap every single day about boring things...so I’m sure there is at least someone out there who will read what you have to say.

My First Day in Hell #RetailTales
Like a lot of young adults, my first real job was in retail. I had a summer job a couple of years prior at my parents' workplace, but this was the first one I had applied for myself and wasn't handed to me on a plate. Before we dig into it, this is a true story.

Coding, Marketing, and Why You Should Blur the Line Between the Two
Marketing now isn't what marketing was in 2005. It probably won't be what it is in 2025, either. Marketing is constantly changing. Where it was once a career based on creative skills, now it is one that requires a delicate balance of creativity, analytics, and the application of real solutions. It's a dynamic field, with lots of opportunity for growth and success. There is always something new to learn and master if you have the desire, time, and energy!

Home Schooling in the UK
Why home school? There are as many reasons for taking your children out of mainstream education as there are families engaged in the process. For some, home education is a choice made before the child is born, because they themselves were home educated or because of negative associations they themselves have with school.

Start Your Day as a Substitute Teacher the Right Way. Top Story - January 2018.
Being a substitute teacher is hard work. As a former full-time elementary school teacher, I was reminded of just how hard it can be to teach a class that isn't your own when I transitioned from teaching full time to becoming a stay at home mom and subbing part time. As a teacher, I had excellent classroom management skills. I think most of this was because I built relationships with my students. As a sub, I don't have time to build those relationships, so it is essential to start the day off on the right foot. Here are a few ways to start the day positively as a substitute teacher.

Hospitality
More often than not, I feel like people who work in hospitality deserve medals. Not only because of the physical demands of ten-hour shifts but also the surprisingly high concentration of assholes in this industry. This excerpt comes from the resignation email I sent to a well-known, London-based, Australian brasserie that is supposed to be an ethical and laid back place. Right.
