Personal experiences and lessons learned from college and the years after

I received emails all the time for evens but never really had the desire to go. I switched majors during my first quarter of college because I quickly… Continue reading First College Field Trip

5/9/17 This was my first day of my intermittent fasting (IF) . I stopped eating at 9pm on Monday night. I woke up around 6 am for work. I had to remind myself not to eat, since breakfast has always been a habit of mine. Since I was already awake and had an extra half… Continue reading (IF) WEEK ONE
Millennial debt. That's why. We aren't lazy. We aren't spoiled. We are broke and living in a cycle of poverty. All of the debt that we have accumulated, just from ages 18-22, is 'necessary'.
