Journey of a Nursing Student
So nursing, the profession of our decade right now. I chose this because, to be frank, I don't have a good reason—I just did. I didn't have an epiphany one morning and know that this is what I wanted to do. I didn't make a pros and cons sheet and pick this because of what I liked about it. My mom is a nurse, my ex-stepmother was a nurse, my brother is now a nurse. Kind of made sense I guess. I did learn throughout my experiences, that this is what I want to do. It does interest me and helping people when they need help the most is something that I want to be apart of.

Joys of Writing
Writing is an entrancing thing. The author puts their thoughts into words others can relate to. How bloody fantastic is that? Imagine someone’s mind projected onto a screen. You can see all the mindless workings, what their first thought, second thoughts are when they see you. You can see how they construct sentences and get to know how another person sees things.

How To Know If Your Dream Should Be a Career
A friend of mine recently went to college to follow his dream career. He graduated, got a job, and was incredibly excited to start this new journey of life. Within a few months, he realized something was wrong with his dream. While he did love what he was doing, it seemed to have lost some luster since turning it into a job. Now, he works another career that he enjoys and turned his dream into an enjoyable hobby. His realization made me see that not all ideas are meant to be careers. The problem is, how do you know if you should pursue a job or just keep it as a hobby?

10 Jobs That Don't Require a High School Diploma
I will be the first to admit that I don't necessarily think that college is the only way to reach your personal definition of success. One can easily argue that many successful college dropouts have found achievement and fulfillment, outdoing their degree-holding counterparts.

10 Signs You're a Bad Boss
I remember when I worked at an ad agency that did a lot of work with pharmaceutical companies. They had great revenue, had a decent assistant manager, and also would occasionally order sushi for the group. The starting pay was $17 an hour, and despite all of this, they had a hard time keeping the place staffed.

Things You Didn't Know About 'Wall Street'. Top Story - October 2018.
Among the best Wall Street films to watch, the classic 1987 film Wall Street is considered to be the archetypal image of the wealth, surplus, and success of the 1980s.

Moving for School?
Like most college students, I moved out of my parents’ house and into a student house close to my college. I chose student housing as opposed to on-campus residence simply because it was cheaper and I was paying for everything out of my own pocket. The student house I moved into was five bedrooms, two bathrooms. This meant I had to share with four other students, one girl and three guys to be exact.
