Invest Your Money

 I created a budget sheet and decided to get my finances together. Also I broke out in a makeup allergy and my new job made me worked like 6 days straight LMAO. Anyway, here's what my spreadsheets look like. Also I recently open up an investment account and I'm looking forward to investing $100/month on a Roth IRA account. I think I need to start invest now. Money sitting in my saving account will lose it's value in the long run.

Job Interviews are Hard

 So for the past week I've been applying for jobs left and right. I've got at least 5 interviews, 2 of the interviews I went to required a follow up interviews. During these interviews I notice that they all ask similar questions. One of those question is "tell me a little bit about yourself". On the first interview I went to I wasn't sure how to answer this questions, so I failed to get a follow up interview. However, after I came home I googled this question for my next interview. What I found is the format I should answer this questions starting with the present, past, and future. I went to my next interview and this question was asked again. I use the formula and was able to secure my second interview. Which is an audition at one of the casino downtown. In the past week I went to one interview everyday. It was very crazy having to balance all these interviews, but at the same time each interview I went to help me learn how to answer these questions. I wish they would teach us how to speak in job interviews in school. 


Here's a list of questions that were repeated in my job interviews:

Tell me something about yourself.

Tell me something unique about yourself.

Why do you think you will be a good fit for this job?

What is your strongest and weakest traits?

The more serious post

This is a drawing I made of a character 
from League of Legends back in 2010
when the game first was release.
At the time I thought this drawing was
one of my best work being that I was
only 14 at the time.
So.. I don't normally like to post serious stuff on here, but I just needed to get some clarity. Some of you may already know that I'm pursuing a career in cyber security - networking security. The job itself looks very promising and seem to have very little risk. I feel like lately I don't enjoy coding and studying new trends. Originally I thought that maybe I might like it cause my parents were very supportive of this career path and they were the one who heavily pushes me to get my degree. Thinking back on it now and with all the mid terms and exam I have to take lately it made me realize that I don't want to sit in front of a computer all day. 

When I graduated high school I didn't really want to go to college. I wanted to go to beauty school instead and become a makeup artist. Art is one of those things that you could say I was "gifted" at. It was something that I was passionate about and didn't mind spending days to finish one drawing. In middle school and high school I would practice makeup everyday, but I never wore them out cause I was insecure at the time. 

I recently brought this topic up to my parents and they were super upset and they told me that they weren't going to help me in anyway. Beauty school cost 20k here and I only have like 2k in my checking account LMAO. Anyway, I'm currently not on speaking terms with my parents. This upcoming Monday is the date that I can sign up for summer class. I'm still debating if I want to continue being miserable just to please my parent or just give them the middle finger and take a riskier path. Also I rather open up my own beauty business than work in an IT field under someone else.

Spring Break

 Nothing really special happen over spring break. I couldn't find anyone to help me moved my furniture so it ended being a 2 and  a half day project for me. My mom helped me moved and I ended up breaking one of the leg on my desk cause I got lazy and decided to drag the table across the room instead of lifting it LOL. Anyway, I bought a new desk from IKEA. I thought IKEA furniture were suppose to be cheaper RIP. I finally got my internet working. The room that I moved into didn't have an active internet axial port, so I had to call Cox over and the dude look like he was about to rob me LMAO. I live though yay me. Also I dropped the desk on my foot... FUN.
