Poor Girl in a Corporate World

I promised myself that this blog was only going to be dedicated to the sweet nothings I speak about being a single, young, successful lady. But let me just address a giant elephant in the room ... aka my entire past few weeks! I am a single,  LDS , goal driven, fun seeking lady. I have every desire, want, and need as most 25 year old women want. It would be nice to have the marriage, the house, the kids, the Etsy shop (who am I kidding I have no skills), however - I don't... not yet. And this is not because I don't want these things, and I haven't been trying to date and all that jazz, it just isn't happening. I go to the single wards, I go out with my friends, I am putting myself out there. I am not the most flirtatious individual on the block, but as Tove Lo states  "I have my moments" . In other words, I have a lot to offer, and I have things going for me. I have a degree from Southern Utah University, a really cool job that I love, I live on my own, do...

I have stated on my other blogs, that I am a faithful member of  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , so that is just going to be the forewarning on this blog post. Since we are all about the family, you want to be married one day and have your own family. Being a 25 and single young woman of "marrying age", it can be difficult to get a date every now and again. But on my drive home tonight, I got a chance to contemplate the the working gals (and guy?) problem of being single. Here are what (in my opinion, nothing is peer reviewed) are the reasons that I (or a person like me) may be single for a while. And let me tell you what, there is NOTHING wrong with being single if you are working on bettering yourself and fulfilling your dreams. I know I am still young and there are tons of things for me to do! Let me also just put in a snippet that if you are married, you can still do what you want, even if you have some road blocks. All I Think About is Work - Even if ...

For this blog post I would like to talk about Self Image. Your self image can make or break you. If you say you don't have an insecurity, I call your bluff. I do, however, believe that you can look past your insecurities. To say being insecure is a bad quality is an overstatement. Everyone wants to see themselves for what they wish they could be. I am not here to preach to you, because believe me - even in my personal life and my work life - I too have insecurities.  For the past couple of weeks I have been taking a class called "Star Achievement" . I have learned a lot about myself in my professional and personal aspect. I am more confident at work but less confident in my personal life. Sometimes I just want my work life to copy on to my personal life. I think I would be a lot more successful as an individual. Today I learned that you can be. You might have to take some of your work tactics into your personal life. One of my things I LOVE to do, is make lists. I l...

It is 6:30 in the morning, the alarm goes off. You hit snooze, it is so warm under the covers. 15 minutes passes, and that is 15 minutes too soon. You wake up in a hurry, try to find the cleanest thing on your floor, because lets face it... that is where all the clean and dirty laundry ended up. You slap on some make up and go out the door.  If I had 1 extra hour in my day, and 1 less hour at work, I could get everything done outside of work. How come my proficiency in my work cannot transfer to my life? Oh I know... it is because I am tired. Who knew being an almost 25 year old young single lady could be so difficult? It really isn't, but you have so many things going on. Do you even know what goes on in my mind? Let me give you a snippet, without a ton of detail. I wake up, think of how badly I do not want to wake up. Then I think about what to wear and how to do my hair and makeup. I get to work and it is a discombobulation of manager requests, project, and emails. Finall...

Okay so that is not her actual number and there is not one specific B because I LOVE my new job! Earlier this week, it started out kind of in a conundrum. I was not feeling to good, and had a bad Monday. I thought, what else could go wrong this week? Well as the week progressed the week just turned into a "meh" sort of an attitude. I kept wanting to marry a rich man because "working is hard". Well of course it is going to be hard! Today I got to be the office coordinator (my title) as well as the executive secretary, because she was out. I felt so comfortable with my job. I am fitting in with the coworkers. It does help though to bring M&M's. There are obviously still aspects to learn and the job is ever changing. When put into perspective, I like my job... a lot. Granted I don't want to live there and I do not want to really "hang out" with anyone outside of work. Sometimes those friendships are weird. But I wouldn't be objective to th...

Imagine this... You just finished college, and all of your hard work is coming to a close. Walking down the isles of the auditorium, watching all of the cameras flashing and the people cheering for all of their loved ones. Stepping onto the podium to receive your diploma [holder]. Then the reality sets in. You know what this feels like. You're moved home, with your parents at a job that pays you a lot less than what you expected, and hardly in your field of study. Blech! Attempt after attempt at trying to make it big, and trying to show the world that you have amounted to something other than a fast food worker. Finally you get a chance at something more career focused... at the bottom, but paying a little more than what your previous job entailed. You have moved out of your parents house, you have moved in with a friend, living the dream.... But now you are BROKE and living the dream! Living pay check to pay check, but you would not have it any other way! This is...
