How to be a bad a** boss lady
Pexel

For the past four years now I have been working for myself as an independent contractor. I am currently contracted to 11 different places and on any given day I can be traveling to 3-5 of the locations; every single week I am at all 11 places. Yes, tax time is a pain and my gas bill every week is probably a little bit more than the average adult human. But, I wouldn't trade calling the shots for anything. So here are five ways you can become a boss ass bitch.

1, Confidence is key

Working for yourself means you have to stand up for yourself. CLients will want to and will try to walk all over you....even future employers will want to try and walk about you. So, once you have a policy stand your ground and don't back down!

2. Know your STUFF

Try to be up to date on all the new and exciting information and if you feel like you don't know the updated info, than just be honest and look it up!

3. Know your place

Even though the customer is always right....they are technically almost always wrong, but treat them like they are right. Your customers are how you are able to stay in business and are the reason you are employed...so KEEP THEM HAPPY!!!

4. Organized Chaos

Make sure you know where your paperwork and information is.....even if you are an organized chaotic person.....you need to know where the paperwork, billing, and all the information of your business is!

5. LOVE WHAT YOU DO!

Remind yourself that at the end of the day that you're loving what you do and you are so happy with everyday that you can work for yourself!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
