Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table, while I look outside. So many things I’d say if only I were able, but I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by. You’ve got opinions, man. We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked so let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine. And get out of here fast. I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning There’s no one here to save Who cares if you disagree? You are not me Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who […]
Words for Wednesday
I really enjoy comparing quotes and song lyrics to my life and when I feel they fit a specific person or situation, I try to share. I was procrastinating on writing a History paper last night and instead looking up quotes/lyrics images from various Tumblr sites. Images have always been incorporated into this blog, but one goal for me is to post more quotes and lyrics that inspire and motivate me that are took good to pass up. In attempt to add a little structure, organization, inspiration and a stronger feel-good atmosphere on this blog, I’m going to begin “Words for Wednesday” and post 5-10 […]
How-to: The Cover Letter
I love to bounce ideas off of my friends-both in the personal and in the professional realm. When Aimee was chatting w/ me about writing a cover letter, Jamie suggested the idea that I write a “how to write an effective cover letter” blog post. I am in no way, shape or form an “expert” but I have written my fair share of cover letters for different positions, jobs and internships and decided to take Jamie’s suggestion. Annnd here it goes: The purpose of a cover letter to to explain WHY you are submitting a resume and is an introduction tool between you and the employer, […]
FWD: What isn’t on the resume
I actually wrote this blog post last summer on another blog and was re-reading it today and liked it! I agree with everything I posted originally, and realize just how important these skills/traits are now as I’m a year older. I added pictures I like for a little visual effect [the post is long, but good, I promise!] Enjoy queens! July 21, 2009: I honestly feel like I have to redo, update, change, check or do SOMETHING to my resume all the time. I’ll see someone else’s, or another design and decide to format mine differently. I’ll think of a new verb to describe perfectly […]

College: To do/to have
My main queen Paige sent me this to me yesterday. She only posted a few that mostly related to our friendship and roommate-ness (I feel like I have the right to make up my own words on my blog?) but I decided to find the full list on The Frisky. I also found a list of “30 things to do while in College” from The Examiner. I wanted to list my favorite 15 from the post, and elaborate via italics and photos on how/why they relate to my college experience so far and to many others’ experiences as well. “What Every College Student Should Have” […]
