the aesthetic im trying to have this summer: eating breakfast in cute cafes while i work on assignments for my communications class vs

the aesthetic i actually have this summer: covered in mud, lost in a potato field and yelling “stop humping!” at beetles that, in fact, continue to hump. we love field work!

Wow it’s been a hot minute since I posted but since then I’ve finished reading this book for the third time and I’m officially deceased!!! I think gatsby is one of those books where you can read it multiple times and notice something different each time which is great because it’s assigned for school so often lol

today i stayed home instead of going to my two hour seminar because i’m still not well so instead i caught up on the things i should’ve done sunday but couldn’t because of my health

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

[annakie]

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

[gayforbagels]

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

[kintatsujo]

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

Important

taking the opportunity this winter break to learn what I love! here are some german notes I’ve been taking. tbh, I’ve been stressing a lot about this blog in terms of content idk. I’m such a perfectionist in such an odd manner but you know what? imma just let it go and document my life, no matter what shape or form.

also, I’ve only been on winter break for 3 days and I’m already depressed about going back to school :( at least I’ve been able to catch up on some super lit music and other stuff

I’ve gotten into podcasts and tbh I love listening to them so much because I can be productive (or just chillin) while I listen to them and I feel like I’m apart of the conversation as well where I take something away from it. Right now, I’m listening to The Minimalists Podcast “Happier” [ #115 ] and just finished listening to another regarding women in business and female entrepeneurs.

hope you guys are doing well and pushing through 🧡

My heart goes out to every Muslim in New Zealand and anyone that is affected by the horrible news of the mosque shootings in Christchurch. This is an absolutely abhorrent attack against an innocent community. The vitriol that Islamophobia has spewed out has created a hostile and dangerous place for Muslims and that’s terrifying. They don’t deserve to live in fear. The shooter is truly evil. My condolences to everyone who has lost or had a loved one harmed.
