    Ask, and ye shall receive!

    The good news is that after almost a couple years, I've had the fortune of someone finally accepting a job application. That's the good news. ..the bad news, if I can look a gift horse in the mouth, is that it's retail. I worked in retail all throughout college and beyond, and it got me to...

    I Can't Cope Up With My First Job

    Feeling burnout, regret, and helplessness when dealing with my studies

    Does anyone else get physical symptoms?

    Burnout...

    I'm right on the tip of a burnout and know I need to make some changes if I want to stop myself tipping into the abyss, although I don't have the energy to think, process and take action.
