Over the past few years I have been very observant in the world around me, as I knew I wanted to start my own business, and I wanted to watch and see what would help me to be successful.  The only thing I know inside and out is the catering business, because that is what I grew up in.

I also know that my parents catering business took a lot out of them and took a lot away from the family.  Time and time again my sister and I were left to fend for ourselves because my parents were very busy running the company.  I am not sure that my children are ready for the responsibilities of being on their own so much.

This is why I have decided to go into the finger food business.  It is still a catering business and so it would still be something that I know, but dealing with finger food makes preparation time a lot quicker and that will allow me to have a lot more time with my family and my parents had with us.

When I was seven weeks pregnant with my first child, I miscarried. I was absolutely devastated and I felt like my life was over. I made an appointment with my family doctor to discuss what went wrong. He explained that it was quite common and that nearly half of all woman will have a miscarriage, but most will never even know that they were pregnant when it happened.

He also told me that pregnancy after miscarriage was not a problem for most and that after I have given my body a few months to heal, I should be fine to go ahead and try again. That is exactly what I did and exactly twelve months after the miscarriage, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

I still have a little bit of a tender heart for that baby that I lost, but I know that everything happens for a reason and if I had not had that miscarriage than I would not have Ethan today. It is also comforting to know that there was nothing wrong with me and that I was able to carry a baby to full term. I learned that sometimes bad things happen to good people, but then good things happen to them too.

I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people that wants everything right now.  I don’t want to wait, so when I apply for something or purchase something, I expect the product to be in my hand just after the transaction.

A good example of this would be my recent interest in credit card reviews is am looking for a new credit card to add to my "portfolio".  The kicker is I don’t want to wait four to six weeks to find out whether or not my application has been accepted.

So I’ve learned in my search that there are instant approval credit cards and I’m trying to figure out which one would work the best for me.  Though I haven’t applied for this type of card before, I know that with my great credit history I should be able to be using the credit card in less than an hour – which is perfect for me.

I know it is hard to believe, but I am working on some essays – again.  It seems that ever since I enrolled in college, that is all that I have been doing, and there doesn’t seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Well, maybe that attitude is a bit somber, but that is how you can feel when you are in college.  It is like having an endless supply of bad news hit you each and every day without end.  It has even got to the point where I have been thinking of going to one of those "buy essay" websites and just buy all the papers that I need.

But the sad fact is after paying tuition, I don’t have any money left to buy anything, let alone an essay.  So, I just better quit talking and start working on my philosophy essay.

While most teenagers only think of getting their degree at a brick-and-mortar college, I decided to get mine online.

I was able to find many sites that offered online associate degrees and online paralegal degrees, which covered my to interest areas.  But I thought it made more sense than to me as I could work at home and not need to worry about navigating through a mob of people when I graduate.

As I look through the accredited online college degree program, and made a point to take some notes to ask the customer service staff just to make sure I was comfortable with both the process of taking a college classes and my eventual graduation.

I definitely think this new way of learning online will be beneficial for me and many other college-level students.  By having the option to do the course work and study whenever we have time, it gives us the freedom to choose how we spend our time.  It also gives the student more time to study as they won’t have to attend traditional classes.

I went with my friend down to his automobile storage unit the other day to get something that he needed from the trunk of his car. When we got there, we found out that they had been broken into the night before and had been trying to contact everyone who had a vehicle on the premises.

It was very rare for an automobile storage company to get broken into and in most instances, the person breaking in is after something specific that they know is there. My friend was very relieved to see that his unit had not been touched and that everything was as he had left it the last time he was there.

Apparently there had only been a couple of automobile storage units that had any disturbance or damage to them. My friend’s is pretty far back, so it was not in the way of what the thief was looking for. He was happy about that and was reassured that extra security measures would be taken from then on.

I don’t know if I’ve ever written such a big load of crap as I did when I wrote my management essay this past fall.  Nothing I wrote in that essay was true and it made myself to be someone who is so far from away and I had to laugh when I read it.

The essay would have worked very well as an arts essay or a creative writing assignment because it took so much imagination to make myself into somebody completely different than who I am.

I am really looking forward to the sociology essay that I get to write next semester.  I always thought essays would be something that would be very hard for me, but I have made them very fun and I’m interested to see what I can come up with next.

I can remember back to when I started my first website and I was so proud of myself.  I had bought a program that would help me design the site, and I created my masterpiece.  It definitely took some time to get it done and then I put it on the Internet for everyone to see.

But no one saw it.

Well, the truth of the matter was that I did not do any search engine marketing – in fact, I hadn’t the foggiest idea of what that meant.  The way that I thought that it would work is that I would just build my site and people would come to it automatically.

It wasn’t until I talked to a SEO company that I learned that I would have to market my site just like anyone with a business in the real world would.  With this knowledge in hand, I began to market my site with some help, and I was able to achieve some real world success.

When I was having troubles writing my essay for my psychology class, I decided that I would take a look online to see if I could buy essays instead of writing them.  I thought this would be the easiest solution for me and would take the least amount time to ensure that I could get a good mark.

When I did a search to find a website that sold psychology essays, I came across a site that offered essay assistance.  What they would do, is gets you to e-mail them your essay and they would mail it back to you with revisions so that you get a better mark.  Even though it seemed like a great idea to time, I was under time constraints I wouldn’t allow the two to four business day turnaround that the assistance website offered.

It ended up that it is bought the essay and submitted as my own work and I received a satisfactory B+ as my grade.  Not only was it the easiest essay I had ever "written", but I decided that I might use services like this in the future.

If I had known that going to college would mean that I would be writing paper after paper I don’t know if I would’ve gone.  You see, it was evident from early on that college student was the wrong name for what I was doing.  Instead, my title should have been writer.

From the research proposal that I had to write at the beginning of the year, the writing continued to get more and more involved.  I counted the number of dissertations I wrote (20 in total this year) and I realized that the number words I wrote was just plain crazy.

I even ended up writing a thesis about the amount writing a students do, and it was my crowning achievement in terms of grades this past term.  I am seriously considering not coming back next year as I feel that my brain and my hands need break from writing.  I guess I have the whole summer to the side what I’m going to do.
