The Life Of A Post-Grad
Just over a year after graduation, it's safe to say that I'm not where I thought I would be, but I think I'm where I need to be.
Soph PricePublished 7 years ago in JournalHow to Go from a Self-Doubter to a Self-Starter
Many people are pessimistic by nature; I would know, I was one of them. The belief that we can't always seems to be more plausible than we can. It's a sad fact about life. But, what if I told you that you can get rid of that attitude altogether? What if I told you that all those unfinished projects can be rekindled, finished, and successful? If you want to know how to stop doubting and start believing, keep reading.
Pizzas and Pennies
I don’t want to sound like a Debbie downer, but most people generally suck at tipping. Maybe it isn’t necessarily the public’s fault, but hell I like using their ignorance as a scapegoat. The real problem is that some people go their whole lives without ever working in food service. Others try and forget how shitty the experience was once they land a “big kid” job. I digress. Tipping is important, and here’s why:
Katherine SchaeferPublished 7 years ago in JournalMy Adventures as a Pizza Delivery Driver
We have a developmentally challenged employee at work. He visits several stores during the week and he folds boxes for each store. This guy has been an employee at work longer than anybody. He has the mind of a child and plays with his “toys,” like, for example, spins tops, while he is trying to work, folding boxes, that is. His brother drives him around to all of the stores that he works at.

I have to push myself to be honest in this review. As much as my initial impression of this company was very good, the end was not.
Jacob PhillipsPublished 7 years ago in JournalBest Parts of Being an Intern
There are many pros to being an intern at a company. Most people think that the "intern" doesn't do much but I am here to explain why interns do more than you would think. For example, whenever the office needs someone to get Starbucks, the intern is there to do it. Also, whenever someone needs to take out the trash, the intern is there. In my previous experiences as an intern, I have noticed that watching other peoples' work ethic and seeing what they are doing is very helpful. Also, in the office, there are going to be some people that you don't like or are not particularly happy to answer to. You need to just accept it and deal with it. Your there to gain experience and learn the business. DO WHAT IS TOLD AT ALL TIMES! When the boss says something, listen carefully. They don't like it when they have to repeat themselves. I know from experience. That movie reference was needed for laughing purposes only. In addition, I have seen many instances where an intern doesn't get paid the most attention. Learning how to feel comfortable with that is key. You don't want to get down because you aren't being called a lot.

Okay, so you want to be an actor? That's amazing, and I want you to know I believe in you! The truth is though, it's going to be a very long journey.

To Whom It May Concern, Work I'm an intelligent employee with continuous brain farts. Give me a new project or a task, explain what I'm supposed to do and watch me stare at you with foggy eyes, my mouth slightly open and a demeanor full of "huuuh?" End up overwhelmingly confused two to three days after, as I deliver what you asked for. I will take fierce pride in my work, be it conquering the markets by a product I hold dear or mucking a horse stall to perfection. I respect my colleagues and give second chances with ease. I have a hard time controlling face expressions when disagreeing. I may burst into wild laughter in the middle of a teleconference and I may not be able to make it stop. Most of my jokes are not suitable for an open office set up. I give credit to others for their work and never miss an opportunity to spare compliments or positive feedback. Be dishonest, treat others unfairly, show disrespect towards the janitor/cleaning lady or try and manipulate me, I will walk out the door.
