If you're anything like me, making one decision can be a little difficult. I mean how many times a day are you having to decide on what to wear, what’s for dinner, what school/college do you want to go to, what do you want to major in? And my all time favorite, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Undetermined
18 and forced to choose a career path. I’ve been scared of writing for quite some time. I imagined if I were to write, and I mean really write. I’d have to be perfect. Spend hours on the wording of a single sentence. That I’d have to follow every rule I’ve ever heard. Give up my guilty pleasure of the use of alliteration.

Being Productive
Most times when we are feeling the least productive, it is because of the environment we surround ourselves with. So many distractions to tempt us, steering us away from what we actually need to do.

It is everyone’s dream to have a nice job. A nice job often means good salaries and a comfortable life.

I Started a Business and It Was Surprisingly Easy
I think almost everyone dreams of doing something big with themselves or by themselves (to a degree) as they grow up. "I'm going to open my own gym." "I want to run my own restaurant." "I'm going to become a dental floss tycoon." You know, the usual hopeful successes. What I've felt is that most everyone uses it as a mental escape from their current situation. In my own analytics (from nowhere except the randomization of my thought process), about 70% of these are pipe dreams. People want it, but they don't really plan on going for it. So what's interesting is that I never once in my life thought to myself, "I'm going to partner up with someone and start a Motorsports Marketing business." Yet it happened.

13 Things You Didn't Know about 'Classic Alice'
I have always been a fan of webseries on youtube pertaining to classic literature, whether it be The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy or The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. A webseries that thinks outside of the box is Classic Alice, which has titular character Alice actually living her life according to classic novels. It is kind of a crazy idea, but has been executed fairly brilliantly, and I was lucky enough to sit down with creator and actress for Alice, Kate Hackett to discuss the series.
