Five tips for finding a job after college

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!

Just Life | New Year, New Bullet Journal

The Bullet Journal idea has been going around for a while now. I started my first official "Bullet Journal" mid-last year. Before that, I have always kept a planner and had a similar process/setup as how I've setup my bullet journals. This year, I was lucky enough to get one for Christmas to start anew in 2018! Here's some snaps of my 2018 bullet journal a couple weeks after setting it up: Watch the video below to see the original setup:  I've added quite a few more things since then. Keeping this little journal really makes me feel like I have a handle on my life (...finally😂). Is that just me? 😂 I hope everyone is staying warm this winter!  Enjoy the Super Bowl this weekend (if you watch it)!

GOODBYE 2016! It's 2017! And going over my resolutions from last year, I just barely reached some of the goals. This year I plan to make a game plan to achieve ALL of my resolutions. My New Year resolutions: 1. Learn more Hmong . Be able to at least understand most conversations. 2. Find what I want  to do. This goes along with job satisfaction. 3. Pay more of my loans off than last year, so more than $8,200. 4. Read more. I'm not sure how many books I read in 2016, but my goal for 2017 is at least five books. 5. Do more of what I enjoy.  This is kind of basic, but I want to take time this year to do things I enjoy like writing, drawing, and traveling. Last year I think the only traveling I did was to Disney World in the summer, random trips to Wisconsin, and the family camping trip in Iowa, which can barely be called traveling haha. I want to spend at least an hour every week writing or drawing though and then travel to and explore at least five different stat...
