While many people believe that you can't start a career without college, there are tons of jobs that don't require a degree. Many people just don't feel like college is for them, and that's okay. So long as you're willing to work hard, there are plenty of high-paying occupations you can take on.

Today’s topic: social media and how it effects the meek, but opinionated individuals of today’s society (Like me!). Before getting into the nitty-gritty, let's take a moment to go over some background detail.
Sangita SahaPublished 7 years ago in JournalMy Teachers' Hatred Helped Me Write My First Novel.
So, I wrote a book. I'd like to think that it's a good one (I hope to God it's a good one!). It took me six years, from the age of sixteen until the age of twenty-two.

There was a point in my life where I didn't know what I wanted to do. It was yesterday, kind of. I've realized failure is a form of success, and you need it to improve—no matter how cliché that might sound. I'm learning to embrace my failures. It's hard; it's extremely hard and I'm failing more and more every day, but that's how I'm finding my way. Failures are the only true compass you have in life, and they help you steer your way out of the confusion if you use them correctly. Instead of always asking for directions, sometimes you should stop, observe, and asses your surroundings. Sometimes you'll be mislead either purposefully, by accident, or by pure routine. Sometimes people only take a trail because it's the only one they've ever known.

No one likes budgeting. The very word, budget, gives people the feeling of restriction and financial stress.

The biggest reason to budget is to make sure you don't end up spending above your means. It's also meant to help you save as much as you can in case of an emergency, so that you don't go into debt trying to pay off medical bills or car and home repair bills.
