First Day on the Job
On my first day as a substitute teacher I was feeling so many emotions all at once. I recently moved back to my hometown so my first job as a substitute teacher was at my alumni elementary school! I was nervous, excited, and I had no idea what to expect. I woke up the morning of my first day exhausted because I couldn't sleep the night before but ready! When I arrived I was greeted by all my old teachers and it was the best and warmest welcoming I could have experienced on my very first day.

Hitting Rock Bottom
Self-Reflection, Anger, and Sadness Three months ago I set out on a journey. I started a "Self-Love" challenge that I was optimistic in beginning, and found myself hopeful for a great end to 2018. The journey was not at all as I expected. The day after publishing my "30 Day Challenge," my boyfriend and I got into one of the only, and worst, fights we had in three years. This resulted in me moving out and back home.

30 Days of Self-Love: Day 1
Recently, I was watching a video and the narrator of the video was talking about her journey to finding herself and discovering her happiness. She said, "How could I expect anyone to love being with me when I didn't even love being with me. I needed to learn who I was, not as mommy or wife, but as myself." This statement has dramatically echoed in my head, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. Struck by realization, I knew I needed to make some changes.

Unemployment
When you're in high school every teacher, advisor, and mentor preach about the importance of going to college to create a better life for yourself. They swear by it. They advise you strongly to spend thousands of dollars on classes, books, and housing so one day you can graduate and find a job that will pay for all that debt you acquired. I'm here to tell you the truth: they LIED.

Monks, Scientists, and Demons… Oh My!
Religion and science finally collide to portray two very different and horrific interpretations of the super natural and what it means to be obsessed with the temptation of the unknown. Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, and Matthew Lewis, the author of The Monk, both capture the horror of temptation and the pursuit of uncovering the unknown in their 18th century gothic literature classics. Amongst embarking on a literary exploration in an effort to expose the stakes of gothic literature in present day, this paper will compare and contrast Victor, from Frankenstein, and Ambrosio, from The Monk, to illustrate how gothic literature represents obsession and temptation through the frameworks of science and religion.
