I love the entire year. Well, for the most part. I'm not a big fan of Winter, but even then, every month has something that's pretty great. November? Thanksgiving. December? Winter Holidays. January? New Year's. February? Valentine's and Single Awareness Day. May? Existential dread during finals. But for me, March has always been my favorite month of the year, and for good reason.
I'll admit, I'm a bit biased--after all, one of the larger reasons that I like March is that my birthday is on March 20th. So, yeah, there's that. But, you know what else March has? The beginning of Spring. Which, coincidentally, is also my birthday (the Vernal Equinox). So, that's pretty cool! The beginning of Spring is always a bonus, if I do say so myself. (My birthday bias aside.) Also, it seems as if my birthday is Alien Abduction Day. Which is also pretty... interesting. Fun fact!
The flowers begin to bloom, allergies begin to flare up, and the weather can't decide whether it wants to rain, snow, or be unseasonably warm. (Gotta love that Cleveland weather.) But, hey, at least it's no longer ungodly cold (as often), and the sun's been staying out longer. The small victories. To that effect, Daylight Savings is this month as well--March 12, to be specific. We may lose an hour of sleep, but that extra hour of sunlight is definitely worth it!
March also has St. Patrick's Day, which is a pretty big deal where I'm from (near Cleveland). Though I'm not Jewish, Purim is also happening--so, happy Purim to all who celebrate it! In Japan there's White Day, and Pi Day is the same day as well!
For this year, not only is Beauty and the Beast being released in live-action, but the Nintendo Switch is being released as well. And, hey, it's Women's History month! So, that's pretty awesome as well.
Most of all, the crowning point of March, the point that everyone is waiting for with baited breath, is Spring Break! At least, for my college. But, in general, Spring Break is in March. Or, as I like to call it, "that moment after your midterms when you can finally function like a normal human being again". It is worth marching through March just to get to that break. I can almost taste it. (I say, as I am basically drowning in my midterms at the moment.)
Still, that aside, March is a pretty great month overall, my personal opinions aside. There are lots of holidays, the year is beginning to shift toward Spring, and all in all, don't forget that March is a month of wonderful holidays and events. So, as March goes on, march through it with that in mind. It will make your month all the more fun!

Trade School Graduates Make Lucrative Careers Without College Debt
The common belief that a college degree is a prerequisite for a high-paying job is no longer as accurate as it once was. In today's fast-paced and ever-evolving world, many lucrative career opportunities do not require a traditional four-year degree. As an expert in career development and workforce trends.
President Biden, in his State of the Union address this month, spoke of "jobs paying an average of $130,000 a year, and many do not require a college degree." In all, some 30 million jobs in the United States that pay an average of $55,000 per year don't require bachelor's degrees, according to the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce. Here are 5 avenues to explore.
1. Skilled Trades: Skilled trades have always been a cornerstone of our economy, and their demand continues to grow. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians, for instance, can earn impressive salaries. After completing a vocational program or apprenticeship, individuals in these fields can expect to make anywhere from $50,000 to over $100,000 annually, depending on their experience and specialization.
2. Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurship provides a unique opportunity for individuals to create their own success. Founders of startups and small business owners can potentially earn substantial incomes without the need for a college degree. While entrepreneurship requires a diverse skill set and a high degree of risk tolerance, it allows for unparalleled freedom and financial rewards for those who persevere
3. Creative Professions: Creative professionals, such as graphic designers, photographers, and content creators, can build lucrative careers without a college degree. With the rise of digital marketing, demand for these skills has increased exponentially. By developing a strong portfolio and networking within their industry, creative professionals can earn between $50,000 and $100,000 or more per year
4. Software Development: The technology sector has consistently demonstrated rapid growth, and software development is no exception. Although many developers hold degrees in computer science, it is not a strict requirement. Self-taught developers, as well as those who have completed coding bootcamps, can secure well-paying jobs in the industry. Salaries for software developers can range from $60,000 to well over $100,000 per year
5. Real Estate: Real estate agents and brokers can achieve significant financial success without a college degree. By obtaining a real estate license, building a strong network, and staying informed about market trends, agents can earn substantial commissions on property sales. Top-performing real estate professionals can make six-figure incomes or higher.
While these career paths do not require a college degree, it is important to remember that they still necessitate dedication, hard work, and continuous learning.

This was the eighth studio album by Pink Floyd, an English rock band formed in London in 1965. The band's lineup during the recording of the album consisted of Roger Waters (bass, vocals), David Gilmour (guitar, vocals), Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals), and Nick Mason (drums). The concept album that explores themes of life, death, mental illness, and the human experience. The lyrics, primarily written by Roger Waters, touch on topics such as the passage of time ("Time"), the pressure of modern society ("Money"), and the fleeting nature of life ("Breathe"). The album's title and artwork are inspired by the lunar landing and the idea that there is a "dark" or hidden side to human existence that often goes unexplored.
"Dark Side of the Moon" was an immediate success upon release, reaching number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and staying on the chart for an astounding 951 weeks (over 18 years). The album has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.
The album's influence can be felt in the music of countless artists who have followed in Pink Floyd's footsteps. Bands like Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, and Muse have all cited "Dark Side of the Moon" as a major inspiration for their own work. The album's innovative production techniques and thematic depth have left a lasting impression on the world of progressive rock and beyond.
50 years and it has ensured its place in the annals of rock history as a true masterpiece.
After packing two oversized suitcases and two carryons with all the boho chic clothes I thought I needed to travel across the country for my dream internship, I quickly realized that although I may look like I belong out in the entertainment capital of the world there was a lot more to it than Free People dresses and fanny packs.
Ever since I was younger I dreamed of moving out to California. There was something so amusing about being in the hub of it all that bursts with passion and artistry wherever you look. After a trip to LA when I was a sophomore in high school for dance, I fell even more in love with this utopia of a city and from that moment on, Los Angeles was that light at the end of the tunnel.
Now it is important to note that when I say I was in love, I truly mean I... was in love. My grandmother for my sixteenth birthday got me a ring with the coordinates of Los Angeles on it and you bet I wore that ring every day. My Facebook password you may ask? "BelieveLA" (don't worry I changed it so don't try hacking xo). I mean, my legitimate background on my phone for years was a photo of the cross street sign of Via Rodeo and North Rodeo Drive. Los Angeles to me was kind of like that boy who you admire from afar and have to continuously work up the courage to go for.
Well, after years of hard work and building up that courage it finally happened. I landed an internship at a company I admired for most of my life and I was ready to finally show Los Angeles what Sydney Rose Weltman has to offer.
Fast forward to a month of work and exploring the city under my belt, I decided to take some time to self reflect on my life thus far and the experiences I partook in. With that being said and all the emotions I endured, I thought of all the things I wish I knew before making this long-awaited trek. So here it is for you: Sydney's Declassified Los Angeles Survival Guide:
This is something I struggled with leading up to my flight out to Los Angeles. I was scared out of my mind. I was going to a new state where I knew next to no one. All I had were overpacked suitcases filled with clothing and shoes, bedding in a box from Bed Bath & Beyond, and a passion for what I was about to do, yet for some reason, I did not want anyone to know how I was truly feeling. The thought of "this is my dream how can I be scared?" was drilled into my brain, but let me tell you, get those emotions out before you land wherever you may be going. Trust me, this will help you in the long run.
Not only are hobbies something that will allow you to distract yourself from stressful situations, but it will give you a chunk of comfort. One of the best pieces of advice I learned in my time out here was to keep your hobbies close to your heart because it will allow you to feel as if you belong even if at that moment you do not.
Having an A++++ personality as my mom likes to say can be difficult when it comes to reaching out for help because your ego does not allow you to, but reach out to that family friend who you haven't talked to in years or that alumni your professor told you about. You never know who knows who and although this city seems big from the outside at times it can be very small.
This is hard and awkward, but I believe that every twenty-something year old should do it. Going to a restaurant and asking for a table for one may stir up the butterflies in your stomach, but it is time you do some self-reflecting and be dependent on yourself. Sitting in a restaurant or doing an activity alone will make you want to crawl inside your own skin, but in the long run, it is all part of growing up.
I saw this quote in an Instagram bio and enough said. Do your work, remember you are an intern, not a CEO, but also remember there is a line that should not be crossed.
