I’m going to be honest: blogging is boring
Now that I got your attention: I’m struggling. Yes, I never thought to say this, especially on a blog post, but here it is: I’m bored af of blogging.

How to choose the right college degree
In my How I Got Started and You Can Too post I advised on going to college only if you really wanted to, today I share how you make the right choice while choosing the right college degree for you.
