Life Lesson: Are You Hiring?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Hello friends,

I am in need of a new job, I don't want just any job though, I want my dream job. Ever since I started my classes, I've always kept my future in mind. I'm not exactly sure where I'll be in five years, but I'm pretty sure that I'll be doing something great -- hopefully.

I switched again, because the old school I was at was not

Life Lesson: BOYYY! I Need to Vent

Hello friends,

I know I've been a lazy friend these past few weeks but I have a good reason; adulting has gotten crazy for me.

These past few... I don't know how long it's been, but it's been something. I got a new phone and I accidentally broke. I was so upset but it was my fault, so I couldn't be too mad. Got my screen fixed, paid about $250 for

Life Lesson: Making Career Decisions

Hello Friends,

I've had one hell of a week, trying to figure out my future, as well as thinking of a career. I'm just scared to commit to something and then when I want to switch I'll have to to back to school. I guess my real fear is not being happy. I always wanted to work with animals when I was younger and now that I'm allergic, that dream is killed. I just don't want that to happen again.

When talking to peers or even older people I try to talk to them about how they got into their line of work, whether it was by accident, something they always knew they wanted to do or something that was easy to move up in, they had at least some form of plan. For instance, my mother, she worked in the law enforcement field for a while now. It's not something that she wanted to necessarily do, but she got a decent paycheck and met a lot of people

Hello friends,

These past few days have been so stressful, like I told you in my other post, My Landlord Has Dementia, we've finally saved up enough money to move. The only thing is, in the last 6 months we spent at this place, the cost in apartments went up. What use to be $1,200 for a one bedroom, now is $1,450. Even studios went up in price, it's stressful! Who has that kind of money, I wish that I was at a point in my life where money didn't really

Life Lesson: How to Cure Writer's Block

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Apr 2016 15:00:00 +0000

Hello Friends,

Lately I've been suffering from writers block, usual it takes me a few hours to get over it. These past few weeks I just haven't been in the mood to blog, I don't know if it's because of the views or if it's because now that I'm in school, I just don't have time for it. I went online and did some research and found this app that gives you prompts so you can get out of your writers block. I didn't think it would work, until I came across this prompt:

Prompt #1: You are sitting on a park bench when someone shouts your name.

I thought it would be cool to actually post this prompt because the story started to get good. Of course I had to share it with you guys, so here it goes:

Hello Bookworms,

Today's book is called, Breaking All My Rules by Trice Hickman. I know I said that I was trying to set out of my comfort zone and experience new genres of books, but I always have to go back to my first love. I can say that Trice Hickman is one of my favorite authors only because she writes about the same thing, but with different scenarios.

I talked about one of her books before, but this one is way better than the last because it's about a successful woman, who owns her business but also has trouble with her love life. I like the main character Erica Stanford, she's very smart and

Book Recommendation - The Virgin Romance Novelist

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 18:16:00 +0000

You can also preview the book here

Hello Bookworms,

Today's book is, The Virgin Romance Novelist by Meghan Quinn, and this book is about a girl who's a virgin who wants to write a romance novel.

Rosie, the main character is a twenty something year who works for a cat magazine and lives with her roommates. She's always been fascinated with romance novels and wanted to write her own but there was one problem, she knew nothing about sex. Footnote; you don't need to know about something to write about it. You can simply do research or make it up, that's why it's called F I C T I O N. Anyways, she feels the need to gain some experience so she can have the greatest novel of all time -- my words not her's.

Hello Friends,

I've been in a little funk these past few days because my job told me that I was too expensive. Ever since I was a little girl I always liked the finer things in life but I never thought that my job would ever tell me that. So rather than have me full time, which I started out as, I am now part time because I'm allergic to my job -- literally, I'm allergic to dogs, cats, small animals, grass, and dust. Working in a corporate animal retail store, such as Pet Smart, I took on the roll of dog trainer but I was just covering for someone because she was having a baby, ever since her return, I've just been put in random spots. I'm like an unwanted step child or something, when I finally found a spot, they said there is no such thing as full time for this position so they cut my hours.

Hello friends,

I've realized that in these past few posts, I like to revisit my past even though it was only... a year or two away. This post is about college and my roommate and the time she got arrested. Haha, no I'm lying but the way she was moving, I'm surprised no one has caught her yet.

When I moved into my dorm no one else moved in with me. I thought that my roommate would've been a freshman like me,

Audio Book Recommendation-- Self-Inflicted Wounds

Hello Bookworms,

Today's book is, Self-Inflicted Wounds by Aisha Tyler, which is a book about how Aisha Tyler willingly and unwillingly -- more like unknowingly -- hurting herself, let me explain.

This book is not as she says her memoir, but as an example of what not to do. For an example, when she was a kid she use to always get picked on. She was tall, loved being by herself, and was vegan, loved reading books about aliens, and use to go to the library and search for diseases in a really big book. She explains that when growing up you can have only one weird, but having all seven? You were just asking for it. In her book she gives an example of the time kids were around her chanting her spirit name.

I thought that I'd take this post back to my shortly lived past and reminisce about the wonders of 149th street in the Bronx.

A little history about me, I'm from a small town called Groton, Connecticut. Some people know of Groton as a major contractor and home of Electronic Boat Corporation, if I remember correctly. People in my area, literally knew everyone, you couldn't even go to the grocery store without seeing your cousin -- not me but some of my friends. Everyone use to try to be from New York, "What part you from?" They use to just say the Bronx, or

Hello Friends,

As you know, I just moved into my very own place with my beloved boyfriend. We just recently moved in September, and its horrible. You know that saying, "My landlord is crazy," or "I don't like dealing with my landlord because they never x, y, z," well my landlord has dementia.

My boyfriend and I were endlessly looking for a new place, we needed to get our own space because our roommate -- who was an elderly over obsessed, clean freak that complained about everything, especially, on how long I took a shower because I made the bathroom too "steamy" -- was getting on our damn nerves and we couldn't take it anymore. So for six months straight, we looked at apartment after, apartment, after apartment. The one thing, among many things, that's annoying about NYC apartments are the requirements, "You need 700 or better in credit and make at least $44,000 annually. And if you want to have a
