Life has been going really smoothly lately. I have really learned the power of a budget and the power of a salary. If you are living off day to day pay like a server or a retail worker I would definitely suggest you always save about 50% of what you make every day or week for your bills that are always there. Then remember to build an emergency fund...this is hard. I will absolutely admit that emergency funds take will power. It will help down the road though.
As for salary pay if you are not making a lot for what you work a part-time gig or doing free-lance work (if you have a skill that lends itself to freelance work) can help a lot. Budgeting a salary is much easier to do too. Especially if you COOK FOR YOURSELF.
Cooking for yourself can be hard to do because you are tired and you feel lazy. Trust me I lived off of take out or order in food for like a month. Wanna know what happened? I gained 15 pounds. Luckily I found CalorieCount.com and with just counting my calories I have lost 5 of those 15 pounds. I have also found that it is hard to cook for myself all the time. So usually I bring things in for breakfast and lunch and put them in the fridge at work. For breakfast I have been eating yogurt and a banana. Sometimes I have a small snack before lunch. Then for lunch I have a low cal microwave meal, lean pocket, light can of soup or I make myself a sandwich. IF the meal is a little too low cal I will bring a piece of fruit or even a pudding snack.
Dinner lately has been the best. I decide what I am going to attempt making and go buy the ingredients. Lately I have found that arugula is a delicious low cal high vitamin ingredient and it is yummy too. Also goat cheese can be cooked into so many things. Stuffed mushrooms, cream sauce, or even baked and put on top of a pasta dish. So many endless possibilities to try.
Going with the flow of life feels good right now. I have been in a good place and am just trying to stay there and get healthier while doing it.

FALL has Arrived...Again!
A lot has happened to me lately. Aaron moved into his own place and soon Odin will be moving in with him. My job is going well and I now am the Marketing Coordinator for 2 clients. I still handle all of the Receptionist/Assistant duties until I get a 3rd client. Which is fine my clients are nice and pretty easy to manage for now.
I am still designing on the side for PJ Skidoos which is awesome.
Also I have been dealing with my cat Cedo. He is a sprayer and I have decided to try and end it once and for all. The Xanax that was prescribed to him obviously wasn't working. So I brought him to this local vet and had him tested for a UTI, nothing wrong with him. And since this vet practices both eastern and western medicine he decided to try my cat on some herbal medications to promote calm and lessen his stress levels. I am also going to need to buy another litterbox and I am not happy about it. Also if this medication doesn't work the vet is probably going to try acupuncture. I think that would be interesting and even if the medication does start to work I would still be interested in having him go through acupuncture sessions.
Halloween is also next Monday and I am just going to wear my steam-punk costume. Maybe my heavy metal costume...not sure which yet.
I will say just starting out in a career the one thing I have noticed to be difficult is wardrobe. There are a lot of great options for easy wash suits and work clothes so I would stay away from dry-clean only. Also Macy's always has great sales you would be surprised how cheap you can get last seasons things on their clearance rack. Other saviors is thrift stores and getting the things from thrift stores tailored or learning to tailor them yourself. And stores like ROSS and TJ Maxx. You really can save a lot. But remember the big department stores have sales so just keep an eye out for the really good sales from places like that because the better clothes from the better stores often last much longer.

Updates Before the Fall of 2011 Starts
BUwahahahahha! Today I am off to a Music Festival. This is my second one, my last one was in July and it was all the way in Up State New York called The Big Up. It was a very long trip but super fun with the camping in a random field on a random farm in the middle of no where. Luckily our camp neighbors were really nice since Aaron and I were the only ones who went it was nice to make some friends and meet people to hang out with.
This Festival we are going to, I don't know the title of, is in Pennsylvania so it is a much shorter drive. I hope to finish taking pictures on my disposable camera, that I bought for the last festival, at this festival so I can finally develop them. I am kind of scared to see what will be on that camera.
As for my new job
Here is a photo before my first official interview at that job.
I had a casual interview at the office before but that was when they were not hiring.
Well after the pictured interview took place I went to a second interview and was hired. Later I got to start my job and now have been diligently working there for a month.
The job is at a marketing firm which I will not name incase anyone ever reads this. I don't want to get fired for posting my jobs name on my blog or something.
The job itself is fine and I am learning a lot. My co-workers are fun and really funny but they are perfect. No Comment on my boss.
Being Done with School
So I am done with school. I do hope to go back and get my MAT (Masters in Art Teaching) one day and then maybe a PhD to teach art on a college level. But for now I really just want to pay off my debt and then begin to save for my Master's.
Apartment and Roommates
Roommates are cool I have 3 as I believe I have stated before. Of course as with any apartment with people my age the trash piles up and the dishes sit in the sink. At least we have a dishwasher unlike the last place I lived in. All I can really ask for is that there is no drama and the cops don't get called on our apartment more than once. Which so far neither has happened so I think we are doing pretty good. All my roommates are working on their Master's, one is on a break but has her's about half done. The two guys I live with are working hard on theirs to just finish them asap. But we all work hard to pay the rent and bills and we survive. The only roommates I do have complaints about are my cats they are 3 rambunctious boys and can get very annoying. They are lucky I love them.

Big Day
One of the first steps to the rest of my life is today. An interview at a Marketing Company that is in the market of Beauty, Spa and Health. I am nervous simply because this interview is a much bigger deal than the one I had previously with this company. Hopefully what I know can help me get this job so I can continue to learn about the advertising and Marketing field.
The way I see it as long as I get a job that I can use what I have learned in college and what I have learned in high school and in life then life will be good. Especially if that job gives me the opportunity to learn even more. No matter what job I get I plan on being the best I can be and working to make myself better. Doesn't matter if I am serving, designing, or retailing I will always work hard to do my best.
I never want to end up back home living with my parents. If that happens I must have hit rock bottom because I am willing to work multiple jobs to ensure that never happens to me.
People of the GenY need to have the motivation to do whatever it takes to land a job to sustain so you can land the job that will lead you to your dream. And who knows that job you use to sustain yourself could need someone with your talents for their business. I know my current job at a restaurant has a lot of use for a graphic designer and it is nice because it keeps my portfolio growing. Not to mention I never stop networking to try and find more free-lance clientele.
So GenY lets get out into the world and show it what we're made of.
Moved In and Loving it!

Hello Blogosphere,
I am now moved into my new apartment with my 3 roommates and cats. I am so happy about this apartment it is beautiful, the pool is nice, it has a gym, and was super easy to move into.
My full-time job is going well. Lifting all those trays and serving, running around and everything has really gotten me into better shape. The people I work with are nice too of course not all the customers are nice but that is to be expected. Can't please everyone.
I am also applying for this job at a marketing firm. I had contacted them a few months back and feel like I could be a very good fit. I prepared my portfolio, got a nice outfit for my first interview and now just need to paint my nails and make sure I look really nice. It is a marketing firm in the beauty and spa industry so looks are very important.
Otherwise everything has been going great, as long as I make rent ;-)
Graduated/Full-Time Job/New Apartment/Some Fun

Since March a lot has happened. The Senior Art show for Mason was great! Here is the site http://masonseniorshow.com/spring2011/info/ and here is a picture of my book.
I hand bound the book and also the cover was screen-printed. The show was a bit stressful to put together but when it was all done everything turned out great.
After my show I had finals which went fine. As an art major the finals are usually not too hard. Except for the Art history, that is hard, mostly because I have a hard time with history in general.
But after my finals were done and I passed all my classes I got to decorate my cap and strut around in my cap and gown. It was a lot of fun to graduate and walk across the stage. It is amazing how fast those 4 years went by.
I've also finalized everything for my new apartment and new roommates. I will have 3 roommates that I am friends with and my cats will be moving with me.
Last update is I went to Starscape again and it was AWESOME!!!! I got to see so many great artists and I also got to see Flux Pavillion live for his first US show. It was so much fun. I also got body painted. Check it out!
Of course you got to love my new shorts that I got at the beach too.
Last Year Of College Semester 1

This upcoming semester is my second to last semester at college. It is very scary.
Living at this apartment has been a very good experience so far. The neighbors are loud and the walls are thin so that isn't great but after this semester I am going to try to find a townhouse with the two roommates I have found for next year. (Yes the cycle of roommate and house hunt will start...again...soon) I am walking to places and as soon as I get a bike lock I can start to bike to class. My cats are still doing totally awesome except for one deciding to spray but this stuff call Natures Miracle No More Mark Spray has been working really well, it cleans, gets rid of the smell and prevents my cat from going back to the spot.
My job at the camp was great because of that job I was able to survive on my own all summer. It gave me huge hope that after graduation I do not have to move back home. I think it is total crap to move back to your parents just to save up money to be on your own. Find a job even if it isn't in your major and start building those survival skills. Sooner you start better you will get. I am still substituting at the preschool which is great for extra money and I am going to be modeling for the Art League again which is exciting. I really want to do some photo modeling again. I miss it.

I am in my new place and my kitties have moved in with me. Soon I will be sure to post pictures of them being with me in the new apartment.
My camp job has started and I am working with 3 year olds. They are definitely learning with every step they take it is very interesting to watch.
So far with my photographer assistant job I have designed a few things which is awesome and I can add them all to my portfolio.
In my class I have also designed some logos and am working on designing a Business Package. This summer is turning out to be very lucrative for my design portfolio.

So much has happened since I last posted. I moved into my new place. My cats are going to be moving in within the next two weeks. Hopefully they handle the transition well enough.
My job at Jerry's is also ending this Friday and I will be able to go back pretty much whenever I want which is nice to know. After that my job at the camp will start at the end of the month. I am taking one week off to get my cats settled in and also to get my car registration taken care of.
I also got to go to Starscape 2010 it was a lot of fun my favorite part was getting my back painted.

Also my summer classes start tomorrow and hopefully I can utilize what I learn at my photography job. Get that guy some branding tips.
All in all everything has been going really great. I still can't wait for my cats to be up here with me.
3 Days to go

This has been a very interesting summer break so far. I've been living at my boyfriend's place for a week now and let me tell you I need to do laundry. So I am in a townhouse with 4 guys and it really isn't as bad as most girls would think. Sure the toilet paper supply runs out and then gets replenished days later but that is what the overflowing stacks of Chipotle napkins are for. And you know what it is also true that cockroaches scatter when the lights go on but they are kinda like my many mini kitchen roommates (lol).
This Saturday A and I are moving into our apartment. My boss gave me a free TV (totally awesome of him). I got 2 large area rugs for 30 bucks (total deal). And my apartment people said I can bring both my cats for the price of one. Seriously can life get much better? I mean my cats are going to come up and live with me at school YAY!!!!!! Also I wont have to buy a parking pass because I can walk to school or take the Cue bus. Sure the walk will be about a half hour but that is a half hour of decent cardio. As long as the weather is good.
Other steps to adulthood I have taken:
-Got my own renters insurance
-Building up my emergency fund and planning on getting and building an IRA
Also there is an internship on campus with the printing place in the Art building and I am going to apply. It could be interesting. Sure that means my first semester will be like...20 credits but hey hard work pays off. If my work is better and I have more of it then I will be more likely to get accepted into the Fine Arts program.

Hello,
This year has been a blast filled with new beginnings and new challenges to be met. So far I have got myself a new boyfriend who I absolutely adore, A and I finally found an apartment yesterday, and we will be moving in at the end of this month. Right now I am about to pack up my computer and leave my on campus apartment for the last time. This feels very sad but I am still excited. Hopefully this move will be a wonderful start to the summer as I clear out the old and prepare for the new.
I found a new Job 3 to be exact. Jerry's I will stop going to June 15th, The photographers assistant job starts this Friday and my camp counselor job starts at the end of June.
Also this June I am taking a class for two months.
Lastly A and I found our apartment I know I already said that but still it is very important. Yesterday we just went to this one apartment complex and applied for an apartment. The lady is even working with me so I can bring my cats with me. She is beyond nice she is like a ray of sunshine.
So look out world here I come. :-)

Finally. A and I have an apartment. I was so scared. Ok well we don't HAVE it but we have applied for it and it was taken off the available listings. So we are pretty sure that we have it. So we will be moving in around May. It is so exciting now all we need to worry about is furniture.
Also I have a job interview this Thursday to be a photographers assistant. And this week I will be hearing back about a job as a camp counselor at the Jewish Community Center. No I am not Jewish but a lot of my friends are and I have been around that culture for quite a few years now. Also you don't have to be Jewish to work there. Which is nice since I am one of the least religious people I know. :-p
This Wednesday I am going to a TV show premiere that will have a program that I designed. And I can mingle and network.
This Weekend I will be a hair model in a hair runway show. I am so excited I can't wait to see what they do to my hair. Hopefully one of my photographer friends can come.
Wish me luck on all accounts please.

I haven't been called back about a job at Sweetwater Tavern but they could still call me one day about a job. Jerry's Subs and Pizza called and I will start working this Wednesday. If I make enough money I may keep the job but if now I will just work there until I leave school which is May 15th. At the least I can make enough to pay my deposit for the townhouse.
Also one of my roommate's parents decided not to support her for school and housing so she isn't moving in with us. Unfortunately that means that once again my other roommate and I have to find a third person. We have a really good prospect and I hope she moves in with us. She is a friend of mine from school and it should turn out well. I also have to talk to the landlord today about it. I hope she doesn't mind all this. It wasn't anyones fault and I am sure she will understand.

So I may have failed to get those two internships but I have applied to:
Starbucks
Sweetwater Tavern
Temp Jobs
And Sweetwater Tavern has already scheduled an interview with me. If I got that job it would be beyond perfect because it is only 5 min. from my new place.
Oh yeah if you didnt read the last post I found a house BOOYA.
Also school will be ending soon and I am going to be taking a summer course.

Alright so I had my interview with Apple today and I think it went pretty well. They said they will schedule another face to face interview and see how it goes.
Also there is some really big news...are you ready...MY ROOMMATES AND I FOUND A TOWNHOUSE!!!!!!!!!! It is owned by an ex boyfriend of mine's parents and they figure it would be better to have someone they know rent the place. So we get it and no pet deposits! It is very exciting. Can't wait to see the inside.
Anyway back to the jobs pizza guy still no call me back. Ummm...found a really cool sounding personal assistant job and I have a month of modeling for the Arts League again. That is always fun. I still am waiting to hear back from one of the camp jobs and I really hope I get one that way I can work for the lady who needs an assistant and work at a camp and then NO PIZZA. Meaning less gas money.
Until next time you crazy kids...

So this month is starting off with a little less than a bang. Ok a lot less than a bang but at least there are possibilities.
Job hunt updates:
-Apple called back to schedule an appointment for an interview and hopefully I can get a job there. It would be fabulous.
-Pizza job is still available if I get one of the Camp jobs.
-So the internship with Wolf Trap said NO to me. I can still look for a job.
School updates:
-Going to go for the BFA, which means a class during the summer and next summer but I will still walk in May.
-Job instead of internship would probably be better that way they will understand that I need to go to class.
-Good bye business minor...ewww
Housing updates:
-Still hunting and we are sticking with just the 3 of us and the pets. Screw trying to find a 4th person it is too much hassle.
-Hopefully the Realtor will find us something nice.
FUNNN!!!!!
Look at the awesome stuff that I am on. I got to be on a cataloge cover for a photographer. And it was handed out at a wedding convention Yay!
Photo of me on display.
me on the cover!!!

So the house hunting is going alright. I actually got laughed at by one rental owner because I guess he didnt think 3 students and 2 cats and a small dog would make good tenants. Whatever he lives next to a university he should expect students to call. Other than that I have found some decent apartments as backup.
Oh I forgot to mention that we are down to 3 roommates now. Yeah we had another one flake out on us. Oh well at least the 3 of us are SOLID we are moving out of the parents places and into our own place.
As for school the Hamster project is going really well. I designed my drafts of my covers for it. They are really cute. In my other classes I am not doing so well. Luckily in college a 70% is a D so I haven't failed any of my tests or exams but I got too close for comfort. I don't know what to do. Studying for this business course is hard since I'm not good at memorizing abbreviations. And Art History is also kicking my butt. I need to be able to pay attention and take notes. I want my lap top to work again. Stupid viruses.
Also JOb update is that I have not been called about the job at Jerry's yet but I should be within the week. Then I can start earning some extra cash and save!!!!

Luckily in college a 70% is a D so I haven't failed any of my tests or exams but I got too close for comfort. I don't know what to do. Studying for this business course is hard since I'm not good at memorizing abbreviations. And Art History is also kicking my butt. I need to be able to pay attention and take notes. I want my lap top to work again. Stupid viruses.
Also JOb update is that I have not been called about the job at Jerry's yet but I should be within the week. Then I can start earning some extra cash and save!!!!
Oh Lordy the year is nearly over!
It is so scary to think that in about 8 weeks this semester will be over. I have to write 3 papers, redesign a magazine, and Study my butt off to understand Business Information Systems.
Not to mention I would really like a coffee...hmmm. Sorry off topic. I would really like to be able to do my homework and pass my classes. Not to mention get an internship.
Did I mention last night I got a job. At Jerry's Subs and Pizza. I am a delivery driver I used to be one so because I have experience I was hired. It is very EXCITING!!!!!
Still my fingers are crossed about getting an internship and I hope yours are too. :-)

All is well with me medically at present. As for the job stuff I actually had another interview with Apple it was a large group of 30. It was called a career seminar. But I didn't get it. Oh well.
Now I have also applied to another internship with Enterprise-rent-a-car. If that goes well I should make decent money and have decent hours.
Also I am thinking of doing Pizza Delivery again. Stress-free job with tips. Can't beat that.
And the Realtor has started hunting for houses. :-)

Results...
I got my results this past Tuesday about my breast lump. Turned out that it was benign which is good. I was very happy about the results and at least now I don't have to worry.
My exams for my classes that didn't have to do with art turned out not so good. I really need to work on my studying skills. I feel so bad about it. At least I didn't get anything less than a D. I had thought I did better but I was wrong. I feel so less motivated now that school is getting closer and closer to the end. But I need to step it up and really dig into my work especially the classes that I understand less like this business management systems course. Hopefully I can summon the drive to do it.
Also I really hope I get a job at Apple it would help me out so much. I have put the resume in and my friend should be able to get me a job there, it is very exciting.
