Midterm Hell Week

Since I can remember I have always been the kind of person that stressed out at the sign of teachers piling assignments one on top of the other. After the first semester, I realized why should I stress out if I am going to have to do it anyways to pass the class. This week I have two presentations, two essays, one midterm, and homework from about every single class. Next week my schedule literally remains the same and the work keeps on piling up. I used to think it was funny when people were saying c's get degrees but man there is always that one class when you say to yourself I just need a c and I don't ever have to take this class again. Stressing out over the next two weeks will not benefit me at all I just have to find a way to get all the work done and everything will be okay until finals week. Monday's still catch me off guard since I stay at school all day. I thought I was going to start doing these blogs beforehand but work and fixing up my car over the weekend kept...

Making money work

When I started working at the age of fourteen I saw how money was made and was never happy with what minimum wage got you. After working four summers and winters I had a reasonable amount money at the bank but after watching plenty of videos and learning how banks worked I decided to put a couple thousand into stocks and cryptocurrencies which have been working out so far. Making an extra twenty dollars a day from these investments doesn't sound like much but months down the road ill have more than what I started with hopefully. I am either the worst or best gambler as I am not attached to the money I make I usually just throw it into investing further. I plan on putting the money I don't plan to use from my bank account to any kind of investment. The school has taught me to take a path that many have taken before me and live a modest life working for someone else. The presentation on Friday showed me that living on minimum wage nowadays is virtually impossible witho...

Second semester

As it turns out many people don't learn from their mistakes. Last year I made my schedule and it was messed up. I had late classes which were fun at times since my criminal justice teacher played clips from shows like Rick and Morty but these classes cut my time after class. This semester my schedule is better and worse than before. My schedule is better as on Wednesday and Friday I only have class form nine to three but it is also worse as on Monday I have classes from nine to seven. Since I have the afternoon class on Monday it messes with my sleep as I work three days a week twelve hours a day. On Tuesday I work from four in the morning to four in the afternoon so these blogs will usually just be written in five minutes with things that come out of my head in order for me to get sleep. I don't really get the purpose of these blogs but I guess they do make you get some writing in to help you with your essays. Because of my schedule, I am now a red bull addict which is probabl...
