So you’re out of college and you don’t have that job lined up yet. Don't sweat it, a job you want is definitely obtainable as long as you put your mind to it. I graduated from college in December of 2016 and landed a job that I desired about a month after I graduated. Here are some tips to consider during that job hunt. Keep organized Keep a document of all the places you apply to with the company name, job title and description, and also where you found the position. When companies respond you can cross them out or see which ones are interested in you as a candidate. Companies will ask you how you found the position and when you’re applying to multiple a day through various ways, it’s easy to forget how exactly you came across the position. This is also good because you can look back at the document and see every place/position you applied for.        When you get calls, take lots of notes! Make goals Set small goals, like “I’ll apply to at least 10 jobs...

I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Am I content? I’m not sure. I feel that there’s so much more. Too much more. Time is eaten by all these events and activities But what do I want to do. What is there for me to do. What more can I do than these everyday life activities. I feel trapped But free. Free in this trap I’ve created. I’m getting eaten by the bills, the people, the environment. Do I have the power to change anything. I do But will I? No I’m unsurely content. In life is order And this is part of the order of life. I couldn’t imagine it any other way. -CSV

This recipe is a quick and healthy one-minute solution that will save you time and save your waistline! It's easy to prepare and cook for breakfast or a mid-day snack. It could also be an activity that the entire family can make, no matter what age.  Ingredients to serve one: 2 eggs Diced veggies  (Literally anything that you like) Some meat  1/8 cup shredded cheese (or as much as desired) Salt + Pepper to taste Directions: 1. Begin by spraying the inside of your mug with cooking spray so the egg will come out easier.  2. Add your eggs to your mug and mix them thoroughly  3. Cut and mix in your veggies. I just had tomatoes, but I would have definitely added in green peppers and onions if I had them on hand. Veggies are nom!  4. Cut and mix in your meat. I had ham slices.  5. Shake in some salt and pepper. I love garlic salt, so I added some of that.  6 . Using a fork, quickly whisk all the ...

The saying goes, "new year, new you". This year, this saying is especially true being that I am now graduated from college and living back at home. It's going to be weird when February rolls around and I don't have to go back to Eau Claire and attend classes. I now have endless hours with my siblings, and I'm now only 30 minutes away from a car ride to my boyfriend. I also now have to find a job in order to begin paying off all my college loans (and my credit card). Along with that, I have to find a position I enjoy and would give me stability throughout the start of my career. I feel like I have forgotten how to interview and all the answers I have for those repetitive questions. Today I applied to three positions at three different companies. I also received a call from a company I applied to two or three months ago. Beginning life after college feels exhausting, but also exciting! I'm excited to learn new things when I begin a position, and I'm excited ...

This sandwich has been my life saver so far this semester. Pretty much every morning I can fall back on this wonderful breakfast. It's just simply whole grain wheat bread, almond butter (Peanut butter is just as good), hazelnut spread (Nutella, or in my case JIF brand because I'm on a budget and why not try something a little different), and then bananas (if I have some). This is such a quick and easy make and walk out the door breakfast, especially for those running-late-to-class moments which is almost everyday for me. It's tasty! And in some way healthy: Whole Grain Wheat Bread benefits:   Whole grains is a high-fiber food. As an adult, we need about 25 to 35 grams of fiber everyday. Whole grains contains two types of fiber-soluble and insoluble-which are both very health beneficial. The fiber can help in having healthy digestion and bowel movement. It also helps with lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. Whenever I have the choice of different breads to ge...

Quick snaps on this semi-sunny, semi-cloudy, and semi-chilly midwest day.  My Hair is finally growing longer! On Sunday I finally decided to go back to layers. Those are my two plants, since I'm not allowed to have animals.  All-Star Converses are always a good choice Vests keep you pretty warm in the midwest, at least until you actually NEED to wear a coat.  When you can't be cute, making ugly faces always works.  Enjoy the wonderful bi-polar days of autumn! 

I do the most with the money I got. Most of the things I wear are either bought on sales or from thrift shops :)  Here's a quick little outfit for the fall weather that is here in Wisconsin:  Terrible picture quality, but basically it's a long dark navy blue shirt that has shoulder cuts :)  Of course, here in the upper midwest gets pretty chilly in the morning and nights, so here's a jacket a chose to match it. Just a very large light brown sweater that king of balances out the girly-ness of the outfit.    My hair is growing! Hooray! Jewelry always gives any outfit an edge ;) Keepin' it simple. I love collecting unique items from various little shops and flea markets! For me, the hardest thing about any outfit is picking shoes to go with it! Here are some $4 knock offs from Walmart ;D Enjoy all your fall outfits! <3

Growing up can some times be lonely. My Monday, though not typical, consisted of studying alone at Starbucks for a couple hours for my exam I had today (Tuesday). I tried the new S'mores Frappuccino. It wasn't too bad, if you don't want coffee it's great! They also gave me a cookie straw, which I wasn't sure if it comes with the drink or if they felt bad that they messed up my sandwich order. I tried my first Starbucks sandwich as well. It was a bacon, egg, and cheddar one. The sandwich was also pretty good, but it got a little odd textured (maybe it was the cheese?). Got a satisfying meal and studying done, so all was well with the Starbucks' service as usual.  👍  Later that day after I went to InterVarsity's large group, I snapped a few shots of the campus on my lone walk home. I've realized I haven't taken that many photographs of my campus The UW of Eau Claire got a new brand a couple semesters ago. I like it because we, as humans, ar...

This weekend was just spectacular outside. Very warm, with a lot of sun and a cool breeze. But you know, with living....on the earth, the weather can be so unpredictable and ever-changing. I woke up in my bed today fairly freezing. In spite of spring, I urged myself that this was a good day to dress in bright colors. It definitely was!  I am definitely a fan of the trench coat. This one is navy blue and from Banana Republic. Cheers to an extraordinary blurry photo. Recently got the middle ring from Plato's Closet. Rings are so fun to find when thrift shopping! I really think that those beige sandals are just the most comfiest shoes.  It was quite a cold walk home, but the river is always nice to look at. The sun decided to come out later though at around 7 pm. Here was the view from my apartment balcony:  And one of my university's parking lot:
