I love to read and always have, but in college I lost my desire for novels, self-help books and poetry filled-pages. I am about 1 year post grad and have decided to force myself to get back to doing more reading. 

Every two to three weeks, I am forced to be responsible with my paychecks because ultimately I am responsible for my own well-being. I wanted to share how I budget my checks for the month to help someone else out.  Each day, I am forcing myself to make good financial decisions because I desire to live debt free and to inspire the people that I love to do the same thing.

Working full-time has taught me so much. I've learned a lot about myself and the world in general. This week marks one month since I slayed day one at my ad agency gig. Working for someone else has forced me to follow rules, be social and taught me so much a bout social media in general.

#PostGradChat was the bomb.com last night. We discussed difficulties that we were facing post grad and dished on surprises that greeted us once we walked across the stage. Everyone had unique takes on post grad life, but nearly everyone was surprised at just how completely wrong we were about what post grad life would consists of. 

 I'm so excited and a little nervous, but happy more than anything to start at my new job. I want to do well with the company, so I've decided to share some of what I've learned in terms of job searching, professional apparel and standing out in the saturated market space for good paying jobs post graduation.

It has been roughly nine months since I graduated from the University of Missouri. Time surely flies, it feels like just yesterday I was filing Tiger Trends with Emily and getting dressed for Roxy's with my girls. A lot has changed for me since moving back home, so I figured I would give you guys an update on my post grad journey.
