December 8, 2018

What does one learn from having so many different casual jobs? In the three years since I started my first job, I’ve held three separate positions at three different jobs. I promise I didn’t plan it in three’s, simply a merry coincidence! When I started my first job, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the working environment. I actually started working because all my friends had jobs already and I was feeling left behind. It was . . .

Weekly Musings: Life After High School – What do you do when you have nothing to do?

December 1, 2018

If you’re anything like me, you sometimes feel oddly . . .
