Equipping you with the tools you need to succeed.
Life-Advice from an 18-Year-Old
The moisture clings to my clothes, dragging the baby hairs from my bun and into my eyes. An unbearable heat buoys lazy flies around my face – their perpetual buzzing like the white-noise of the forest. My back aches; ankles buckling under the weight of the pack that is glued to my back by the copious amount of sweat I’ve accumulated under the trees. A vine twists around my boot, the worn sole covered in decaying leaves. I trip, reaching for the closest tree but instead breaking through foliage, stumbling out into the most beautiful scene. A ravine. An open beauty made of rock and leaf – red and green – completely devoid of human life. A deep rumbling comes from below – underscoring the annoying buzz of insects – the refreshing sound of crystal water, an unstoppable current carrying life. I take it all in, in awe, and fall inwards...

Bad Review on Sedalia Designs Jewelry Affiliate Company
As an consultant for Sedalia Designs, I joined two weeks before I left. This is a work from home job that you can earn commission off of jewelry you sell. They expect you to learn tons of information and rules that are spread out in three separate Facebook groups, emails, and Facebook group chats. Some of these rules are not particularly clear to a person on what they shouldn't do. This work from home company claims you get your own back office, but when you do get it, you are told from Sedalia Designs to not touch most of it. I sell leggings from La La Leggings and have the same back office, but never once was I told to not touch anything in it. So why give it to the person if they can't really use it? I was trying to do right by the company and read all the information and try to understand it. There was some information that told us to not touch the back office with some screenshots with a big X over the personal details section, but not the promotional tools section in the Facebook groups. Also, I heard from one person from the management team to not touch the themes. So I figured that we could still use the promotional tools in our back office. I used one of the tools and posted that I did on one of the group chats to give a tip to everyone that advertises with social media. I was told I should contact the owner to run it by her and to write a support ticket because my affiliate link could be broken.

'9-5 Work Is so Much Harder than University.' No, It Definitely Is Not
So I'm guessing if you are reading this, you're either a god awful, health deprived student like moi, an uneducated parent who believes their sons/daughters are having the times of their lives (they could be), or someone who is just curious as to why the bloody hell students moan ALL the time.

High School in the 20th Century Part 2
She looked like a kind, little old lady, but Miss Ramel was like a tiger in striking position. She was an English teacher and our beloved drama coach. We could get pretty goofy at times, like memorizing different dialogue to see if she was listening. We liked to tell the new kids that she was a lunch lady and to give her our dinner order, or we'd tell them her name was Izzy. But we loved her because she was emotionally invested in us and our production. Miss Ramel directed us with power, deep feeling, and humor. Her front door was red, and that always defined her for me. I loved her.
