The Best Years of Our Lives...
"These will be the best years of your life!" That's what they tell you before you fly the nest for a distant (or in my case, nearby) university town or city. Your mum or dad will take you to Dunelm and fill the trolley with bedding, kitchen utensils, and maybe even a slow cooker that you'll never use. Before you know it, they're kissing you goodbye and holding back tears as they leave you in an unfamiliar block of university halls in an unfamiliar town in an unfamiliar part of the country. It is then you meet a bunch of unfamiliar people.

I Don't Like My Job and How I Survive It
I am not sure I like my job. I think I used to like it... I think. Back when making my 30K a year meant something huge. That was ten years ago. I'm still here, making a tad more money, and just about every day I consider whether or not I like my job. I also consider how long I can ride on unemployment, how much I could make working at TJ Maxx or if I can make money doing what I actually like doing. Problem is I don't know what I like doing... besides sitting on my comfy sofa watching shit reality TV. Can I get paid for that?

30 and Undecided
When I was a little girl, I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up. Rich. I wanted to be a doctor or maybe a lawyer and be married to someone equally successful. Someone I would likely meet while in college. I wanted a big beautiful house, 2.5 kids, and the latest model luxury car. All by 25. I mean I was a smart girl. Precocious even.

The Falsification of the Bachelor's Degree: Why Every Degree Is Not Created Equal
There comes a time in every child's life when they begin to think past Friday's football game and the student council meeting after school. Words and phrases like "SATs" and "college essays" become all too common points of discussion at the lunch table. Teachers tell students that anyone can go to college. There is a major for every interest. But, should there be?
