Is University Right For You?
If you're reading this, then you're probably wondering if university is the right choice for you. As I write this, I'm having the same thought. Let me explain. Mid-way through high school I discovered my passion in life. Or at least one passion in life. I wanted to be an aerospace engineer. I wanted to build new and ever evolving technologies for space. It was then I realized the work it would take to get there. It would mean buckling down, studying hard to get into a good university and graduating top of my class. It started off great. As soon as I began to apply myself, school work became no problem and my grades quickly rose to highest in the school. After graduating I set my sights high by apply to the University of Bristol overseas. I was accepted and my life was right on track. But things don't always go according to plan as I'll explain later. But whether you're currently in University or taking a gap year or whether you're just a high school student wondering if this is the path you should take. I will tell you my story and hopefully give you some helpful insight into your own position and desires. So if you're still with me, just hang in a little longer and we'll get to you.

Don't Be a Dick at the Movies
If you've ever gone to a movie theatre, then you are an asshole. I said it and I'm not sorry. I worked at a movie theatre for four years and I encountered the rudest and dimmest people I'd ever met. I don't know what it is about going to the movies that makes everyone lose their wits and common courtesy but it's outrageous.

Give Up the Day Job & Chase Your Dreams!. Top Story - July 2017.
Success is a funny thing. It can be quite elusive. It can also be jaded, like an ex-lover that you used to enjoy tumbling around with. And just like that ex-lover of yours, the way you saw him/her was as clear as day at the time of courtship. But then something happened. Life got in the way. It has a habit of doing that. It's a mightily intrusive habit, but it happens pretty much every single day.

Swagbucks.com
As a stay at home mother of two, I have explored several different ways of supplementing my husband's income while working at home. There are many scams out there, so this can be a dangerous venture to undertake. The first rule I have established is to not give anybody money in order to make money. Most sites asking for money will not make you money, only themselves. The second rule is to not count out the little money makers. Many people will refuse to work with some sites because they will not make you millions. I learned from an early age that you must start small. One small money maker will not make you millions, but several could make you thousands or just save you hundreds. It all depends on what you are doing.

My Adventures as a Pizza Delivery Driver
It is the Holiday Time of the year again and I find myself delivering pizzas to the large country music venue hotel. The hotel is beautiful at Christmas time. Millions of Holiday lights are set into place, and all kinds of beautiful outside decorations are placed all around the hotel. The hotel at Christmas time also plays seasonal music for all to enjoy. The valet parking people are all busy running here and there to park and return the hotel guests' vehicles to them. The hotel’s shuttle buses are all decorated with either big stars on the bus with their Holiday outfits on or the other popular bus that the hotel has running during the Holiday season is the famous Grinch bus. The horse and carriage rides are all out in full force, and the hotel adds a security guard right as you are approaching the front of the hotel. This would be the first of many times that I would see this security guard during the busy time of the year.
