Could You Work For Free

How much do you love your job?

Could You Work For Free
thenest.com

Why do we go to work? Other than obvious reasons like income, why do we go to work? Have you ever found yourself ordering food, and you sense an attitude from the employee helping you and wonder why they work there? Some people are lucky enough to have jobs that they love, and others are only fortunate enough to have jobs that will pass time. I work as a makeup artist and I can truly say I am happy. I take pride in my work because I get to help people in a unique way. I could be the bagger at a grocery store that escorts the elderly to their cars and puts their groceries away for them. Instead, I help women to see themselves in a new way. I take pride in helping women look and feel their best. One day I worked with a client who hadn't done her makeup in years. As I asked her about her life she told me how taking a certain medication made her eyebrow hairs fall out. She didn't know what to do to make it less noticeable. I assured her that I had a solution and continued doing her makeup and showed her a way to apply it to get the best results. After our session I handed her the mirror and she was in awe. Her eyes started watering and she said, “I haven't seen myself like this in years.” The feeling I got knowing that she felt confident made me sure that I'm in the right area of work.

The reason I bring that up is because I want to know if you've had that rewarding moment. Could you work for free if you had to? I'm not saying quit your job right now but think about pursuing something you love, so you'll never have to question, “Why do I go to work?”.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
