So I have to say that one of the most frustrating times in a person's life is when looking for a job. You have so much uncertainty: you don't know and have little control over when, where, why and how you find the job that you want. Not to mention all that possible rejection. It's really something that can crush your hopes, ambitions, and even do ( Read more... )

But according to the ingredients listed on the back of my Flowering Herbs lotion, the fourth and fifth biggest ingredients are alcohols. In case you don't know, alcohol can really do a lot of damage to skin by drying it out. I've even heard that alcohol has been used in lip balms to essentially get people hooked to them. Most people put on lip balm ( Read more... )

Summer is a great time to catch up on reading and thinking about the ideas that reading brings. Lately, I've been reading the book "Freakonomics" and maybe it's just the Economics major in me talking, but everytime I try to put down the book, I have to admit that it is seriously hard for me to tear my eyes away from the pages. And these are non- ( Read more... )

1) October Sky: Not a very famous movie, but definitely very inspirational, especially for students aspiring to accomplish more. Also stars a young, but still very handsome Jake Gyllenhall ( Read more... )

So I'm not exactly on the market for a new car right now, but wow, the new 08' Lancer is definitely a surefire hottie! I love the new head and tail lights and they changed the grill in the very front to look like a Mustang. Plus they pimped out the wheels and doors to give it a more racecar feel. Oh, just so pretty! And it still comes with the ( Read more... )

That's what friendship is. And at the moment, I'm really grateful for my friends. Whether you've been there for me during a boy-induced heartbreak, to share my late-night politics debates or you've saved me from one of those close shaves, I'm thankful for my friends ( Read more... )

Hehe, I've been so addicted to Heroes lately and that's what Hiro first says when he teleports to New York. I finished the whole first season in five days! Can't wait until it's on in the fall again ( Read more... )

I've been really busy lately and probably not updating as much as I want to, but I suppose it's a good thing that I'm keeping busy. Finished off my last midterm (out of the ones that count for anything anyway) today and wow, it was definitely a toughie. A lot of people didn't seem to finish it (although I'm sure some did too) and en route to ( Read more... )

Well, that's what happened with class today and it's gonna happen again this summer. Class was cancelled (yeah?... but then again, I don't enjoy getting up at 8am for nothing...) so now I'm sitting here in the lab typing about the change in summer plans ( Read more... )

So I realized that, career-wise, there are several things that I still need in order to get me where I want to be. Interestingly, all of these things are abbreviations that stand for something much more complex. These things are: CPA, SQL, and MBA. I decided to work on them in that order, but currently the first one is frustrating me like no other ( Read more... )
