Best Required Reading Books of All Time
There are countless books that could easily have made this list (i.e. 1984 by George Orwell, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer, etc.), but we just had to narrow it down. All of the best required reading books are classics for one reason or another, despite their vastly different styles, themes, and time periods. In fact, those are the factors that went into the selection process for this list; they were all chosen because they represent so many different kinds of storytelling and human experiences. Remember: Just because these books are required, doesn't mean they're not enjoyable reads.

Nervousness on the New Job: Words to Get You Through It
I’ve recently moved across the country for a job as a student affairs professional in a community college - new place, new apartment, new everything. I drove from my apartment to the new job location and missed two turns, showing my vulnerability and lack of familiarity with this new place. I hardly know anyone in this town and I haven’t had much of a chance to wrap my head around the fact that everything has really changed in my life. Not only does this impending unknowingness rack my brain and keep me awake at night, but the fact that this is my first professional job in the field, minus experience in graduate school, bears added weight to the situation. I know that the pressure to be a competent and knowledgeable professional is on and I take a gulp of butterflies down my throat as I begin to think of all the fears that could appear in this new job: “What if my coworkers don’t like me?” “What if I let them down?” “What if the students think I’m unhelpful?” “What if people think I can’t do my job?” “Will I spill coffee on myself when I speak to my boss?” It’s normal for these fears to cross both of our minds as we step into a new job. Luckily, I’ve been able to construct a few things to think about for decreasing jitters at the new job and hopefully they can be of use to you as well. By taking these words into consideration, they can help you manage your nervousness and think with a different perspective on the matter.

How to Survive the Dreaded Group Project
Group projects are the worst—yes, the worst. They take a lot of time out of your daily routine, they are mentally exhausting, and they are universally disliked by college students, yet they are a common tool used by professors to develop communication and team building between students.

Here To Make Money, Not Friends
It’s been my experience that toxic workplaces don’t get better. Often it is not just the boss or a few catty co-workers who are the problems, but a whole culture of disrespect in the company that has been festering for too long.

I Am Not Ready to Graduate
I have always been a good student. I excelled in the classes I enjoyed, and I tried my best in the classes that didn't necessarily click (I have avoided science courses like it was the devil). I was also always extremely involved and would want to put my hand in everything. I loved the idea of being a part of something, and now it is coming to an end.

Automation, E-Commerce, and Six Must-Have Emails to Nail Today
No matter what you're selling, social media is often top of mind for many an e-commerce seller. While being present on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, to name a few, is a valuable way to engage with your customers (both actual and potential) it is not the only option to get your products in front of the right people. Remember email? Your old mate might be the best way to get in touch with those same customers.

Why Denny's Is the Perfect Starter Job for a Cook
I am a firm believer that starting cooks should work at a franchise restaurant like Denny’s. I personally started working at a Denny’s part time for a few extra bucks. Even though I rate my self as an above average cook, I have gained a lot of knowledge as a cook here. I wasn’t learning anything like how to cook an egg over easy, but I was learning how to do things faster and in a bigger batch. Lets just say I’ve done my fair share of preparing bacon cheddar tots.
