However, it shouldn't stop you from at least trying to map out what you'd like your day to be like. As a grad student who's also a journalist/creative marketer/digital ... Read more
There's always consequences of doubting yourself. When we doubt ourselves, we limit our chances of winning. Anonymous We train our minds into thinking there's things we can't do... without even trying. This is the beauty of doubt except there's no real beauty. It's true, we can't be great at everything, but as long as you try, you're winning. Doubting yourself can come from a plethora of things. It can stem from verbal abuse, low self esteem or from being coy. Sometimes we can ... Read more
So, you're on a budget? Being on a budget can be both life-changing and challenging. Obviously, the Pros of being on a budget are far more important than the Cons, but we can't act like they don't exist. Many people create budgets for a plethora of reasons.

Sometimes, life will humble you faster than you can blink. We learn so much as we grow and explore life. We tend to look for things that make us better human beings, but we don't like to take into consideration that we could use self evaluations often. I know, we don't like to hear it. Yet, many people, including myself, need to use the advice we give others. I've always told others not to allow greed to take over what they love to do. What do I mean by that? I mean, never ...

/nō/ One thing I've learned as I continue to grow as an individual, is to start saying no. I used to be one of those people who always said yes when people needed my help, until I noticed that people were taking advantage of my niceness. Saying no was not easy for me to do at first. I never wanted people to be mad at me, I didn't want them to think I was mean or didn't want to help them, and I didn't want to lose friends/bonds. But, as I got older it became easier. The first ...
