It may not feel like it inside our hearts, but Easter is actually around the corner. Drug stores all over the United States have made the shift from pink, pink, and more pink, to a more inclusive array of pastel colors. That's right, it's bunny time, and brands are dedicated to the Easter holiday game. We've got foil-covered eggs mixed in with saccharine Peeps, tiny jelly beans and Cadbury eggs.

Everybody gets addicted to saying specific little phrases. 80% of my vocabulary comprises the words “werk” and “gorg.” It's so easy to fall back on cute little slang terms that they can come to define you.

It was one of those days where nothing went right—I locked myself out of my apartment and couldn't pay for a locksmith because earlier that morning, my bank called me letting me know that they'd noticed some fraudulent activity and had to freeze my account.…

This is why taking your daughter fishing is important, to be there for her during moments like this.

At this point, it's a well-known fact that everybody avoids sending in their resume to a potential employer with a ‘gap’ in it. The reason is simple — it is generally frowned upon. Recruiters who receive such resumes squint a little and put on their glasses, take a sip from their coffee, and try to decipher whether it's even worth calling the candidate in for an interview — because let's face it, we're judgy human beings.
