Seven Things I've Learned Since Becoming an 'Adult'
Before I start writing about my "seven things" I would just like to say, without hesitation, 10-year-old me (the innocent little sh*thead) took being young for granted, walking around thinking becoming older was somehow going to make me cooler. Somehow, I would magically make all kinds of money, which at the time, some change from my grandma's purse seemed like a LOT to me. (Silly little naive girl) That my life would be prodigious, full of new adventures, surrounded by friends. Instead, the highlight of my day could be anything from getting new soap to taking a much needed nap. If I could travel anywhere in time... for any reason at all, I'd most likely go back in time.... and punch younger me.

It's Time to Serve
In life, we are always told that we need to grow up and make a difference in our world to make it a better place. And many people choose to "serve" our country and our world by joining the military. But what if there were other ways to serve?

Meet Kelly Limerick, the Crotchet Artist in iPhone Commercials
I remembered this girl the first time I came across the iPhone X selfie commercial. All the other selfies in that commercial are largely your standard portrait shots—monochrome color scheme, soft edges around the people. But this girl, she was literally bursting in colorful dreads, all screaming for every ounce of my attention; her eyes, her makeup all seemed alien-like.

It's All Relative
New experiences can be extremely terrifying, but they can also be enlightening and even eye opening. On Monday August 6, I moved into college as a first time freshman. Talk about scary, right? Especially since I have never spent more than a week away from at least one member of my family.

Unlock Your Creativity. Top Story - August 2018.
Creativity is the art of transforming ideas, thoughts, and feelings into something tangible, something of this reality. Growing up, I never considered myself an artist. In school, there were always people who were way better than me at drawing and music and painting, so I stopped myself from even trying for fear of looking stupid or inept.

10 Motivational Quotes for Work to Help You Succeed
It was Tuesday and I just sat down at my desk with no motivation at all to get through the day. I looked through my tasks and literally dreaded the idea of completing them all before the end of the day. I'm the type of person who doesn't get inspired to work surrounded by hardworking people—especially that day when I didn't feel like working at all.

Thoughts of an Older Millennial
I'm a Millennial. I'm an older Millennial, but a Millennial none the less. Loved and spoiled by my parents, unused degrees, high student loan debt, no real savings and no retirement plan. Just a young (or somewhat young), adult barely getting by, trying to find their way in the world. I'm a part of the technology boom and education era; where technology changed the way we think and communicate, and going to school to get a degree and a good job was the plan. The problem with that is that it was the only plan. Yes, I was told to save money. "Always pay yourself" my mother would say. Of course, like most Millennials, I didn't exactly heed that advice. I wasn't capable of seeing the big picture. Unfortunately, even the concept of saving could not prepare me for what was and is to come.=

Teens, Tweens, and Why We're Not Just Being Drama Queens
With all of the technology that is so readily available to us nowadays, it's easy to assume that life is significantly easier than in the past. This theory is particularly applied to teenagers, with adults saying that "They have it so easy now," and, "They never had all of that technology when they were young." But do we ever really stop to think about the negative side effects of this technology-focused upbringing? Yes, in a practical sense, life is easier for teenagers in today's world than it has been in the past, and technology has played a huge part in that. However, is the rise of technology having a psychological impact on young people, and, if so, why does it go over-looked?
