There are a lot of things about college that I miss, but having a roommate is definitely not one of them. To be completely honest, having to share my living space with someone else is probably the one thing I hated the most during my college experience. College is the first time you get to live on your own, away from your parents and your siblings, it takes a lot of adjustments to get used to that new situation. Having to share that situation with another person who just moved out of their pare…

Life has unspoken rules that sometimes need to be followed. You should expect the hits to keep coming if you violate any of these guidelines, for any reason. I was looking around Reddit when I came across an intriguing post that piqued my interest and prompted me to read further. The post asks, ‘What is something considered ‘polite’ but makes absolutely no sense and helps no one?’.

Quitting is the new winning

I'm going to come out and say it: Loving what you do (for work) is a luxury. But even if you're a statistics enthusiast or a strategy geek, chances are you don't want to spend all your time working. That's where having a work/life balance comes in. The concept, to many, is pretty novel.

There's a reason th…

It's very easy to tell when a job recruiter is scamming you. Typically, they'll use extremely unprofessional language right off the bat.

So irresponsible

Not a bad idea
