Don't Make Your Friends Chase You

They can be harder than breakups with your S.O.   But, what makes this so tough?       When you find a good friend, a best friend, they become your person. The one you tell literally everything to, who you can be 100% honest with and expect the same in return. You go to them for advice when it's a subject too weird to ask your family. You spend all of your down time with this person and one day, poof! They're gone. But why? Why does this happen so much? Does someone move away? Was there a big fallout that you can't forgive each other for? Did you simply just grow apart?   Well, whatever the reason, swallow...

When In College/How Intern Queen Saved Me

Image
     If you're in college, do yourself a favor and follow @Internqueen and @Careerqueen on Instagram. (I promise this is not an add), but these two pages seriously changed my college life.       Freshman and sophomore year I wasn't concerned about internships or resumes, but come senior year I was freaking out because I didn't feel prepared for anything outside of the college campus. Real job recruiters were asking for a resume that I didn't have. I was searching for internships and every time I found one and applied, I never got through to the second interview. I didn't understand what I was doing wrong, until I found Internqueen.       I am an avid listener to the podcast, "Off the Vine." Lauren Berger, Interqueen and Careerqueen CEO was a guest on the podcast one week and gave so much advice for college students.              Everyday their story is flooded with internship opportunities f...

The Comfort Zone is the Worst Zone to be in

Image
     I hate change. I always have. I love being comfortable and distant from everything, unless I'm drunk or jacked up on caffeine. Seriously. But! Guess what? Change is GOOD. Pushing yourself is GOOD.       I took a sales class last semester. I hate sales. It's my biggest fear to be a saleswoman. (Ok I'm being a tad dramatic but you get the point). I took the dang class to explore why I was terrified, why salespeople bothered the heck out of me. I wanted to drop the course almost everyday I was there. However, I learned more from this class than almost any other class I took during my 3 and a half years in college.       I kid you not, I am so much better at public speaking, talking to professionals, dealing with customers at my current job and understanding the difference between a salesperson who just needs the money and one who seriously wants to help you.           I challenged myself and am happ...

I Developed Something Strange. I think it's Called Anxiety?

Image
           I started college in August of 2016. Florida Gulf Coast University. Wanna know why I chose this school? Well, to be honest I hate making decisions and this happened to be the first school I toured. So, naturally, I picked it. Really boring story, I know. Anyways, my life changed, a lot. I left with a giddy soul and hopeful heart. I didn't know what to expect. I do know that I was very excited about the college boys. Point is, I expected college to be like the movies. That old, brick university feel(that yes, a lot of schools have)crazy dorm nights, people everywhere all the time, groups that I would be a part of. Well, shocker, my experience was not like this, at all.       Before leaving for school, I daydreamed about all the great things college would bring. I didn't think about the early morning nights where I would call my dad while he was on his way to work telling him I wanted to drop out. That it was too much. Tha...
