As a business major, I've worked through a lot of projects, organizations, and part-time jobs. However, with good jobs come that bad jobs that force you to quit. That is where a good resignation letter comes in!

Start your resignation letter off stating your intent. Say you are quitting and don't beat around the bush! But don't be rude about it either!

Transition into your reasons why; don't make this a rant letter. Try to remain as positive as possible while speaking on terms with the company so you do not burn any professional bridges.

Maybe find a way to appease them while leaving. State this is your two weeks notice but you'll still be working for those two weeks!Don't quit out of the blue because it makes it more inconvenient for them!

End formally and try to add a signature to it! It adds a flair of personalization. If you're quitting a specific position, I wouldn't sign under that position.

Consider your audience when writing a resignation letter. You don't want to sound like an agnry brat but you should be assertive and state that you are leaving and this is happening.

If you need any help writing a resignation essay, I would contact your university writing center! Best of luck in quitting bad jobs!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
