I’m graduating this year, and I have a job offer–that’s the good news. The thing is, though, that the job offer came from my cousin, who is kind of the black sheep of the family. He’s working the legal marijuana industry out in Oregon, and he says I can come work for him right away. … Read more
I’m part of the leadership of an on-campus club that, once a year, throws a big party. I’m a little concerned, though, because these parties don’t tend to be the classiest affairs. While I don’t have a problem with what club members do on their own time, I’m a little worried about breaking rules and … Read more
I grew up in a pretty small town in Florida and shared just about every moment there with my best friend. We were inseparable, right up to the moment when he headed to school in-state and I headed far away. But we’d still get together whenever we were both back in town, like during school … Read more
When I’m back in my hometown during the summers, I work for the father of one of my friends.

What’s up with artificial intelligence? I’ve been looking at new TVs, and I was surprised to see some of them advertised with “virtual assistants” on board. Since when does my TV need a brain? I find it a bit creepy, to be honest–like something out of a science fiction movie. And I don’t understand why … Read more
I’m having a very difficult time lately. A close family member has passed away, and I’m one of the people in the family who is supposed to be dealing with things like funeral arrangements.

I’m going to graduate pretty soon, and I’m excited about heading off into the “real world.” One thing I’m worried about, though, is money. I’ve never really been great with money, and I don’t feel like I know much beyond the basics of budgeting and saving. I know that I’m supposed to start saving for … Read more
I have a friend who is an alcoholic. I don’t drink for religious reasons, but my friend–though religious–never used to share my love of sobriety. Now he’s trying to find his way to a better life. I think his faith should be a big part of his journey, but so far, it doesn’t seem to … Read more
