A Passion, an Obsession, My Job?
At 18 years old, it's hard to say "I love my job," but when I turned 18, I knew what my goal for the months to come was: I was going to become a snowboard instructor. Getting paid to do something I absolutely love to do? That sounds awesome. I had worked at a resort in Michigan that the BOYNE company owned for two years before I was eligible to teach. I always wanted to be one of the people I saw walking around in the red coats that taught people of all ages the sport they lived for. I had been snowboarding for seven seasons and skied for three seasons prior to that before I applied for the job. I figured growing up on a ski hill and having some knowledge would help me land the job. I scored an interview and a few days later got a call asking when I can start working.

If any one opportunity makes sensational claims like a 100 percent return on your investment, you can bet that this is damn near impossible.

So you want to learn Japanese. There could be plenty of reasons why: maybe you think your future awaits you in the Land of the Rising Sun. Maybe you want to impress a cute Japanese person. Maybe you just want to watch anime without needing subtitles.

9 Things I Have Learned After Being in College for a Month
1. Go to class. This is something that should go unsaid; however, it is still very important to keep this in mind. One of the very first things that your professor discusses on the first day of class is how many absences you are allowed for the semester. It is tremendously important that you save these absences for when you really need them.
