I am 38 and started college when I was 16, so I am pretty sure I went to college earlier than the author. AP classes and exams where just as important back then. In order to get into top Universities, minimum requirements was 4.2 GPA with top SAT/SAT II/ACT exams. That he slid in with a low grades, says volumes about…

This advice is too real. Once you get a new job, the first thing you should do is update your resume with your new job and update it periodically, especially if your duties change or you do something particularly awesome. It's really hard to update your resume when you're stressed out because your job has gotten…

Absolutely do NOT scoff at the idea of a professional network.

It's that whole "work to live, don't live to work" thing. I feel like I've been burned so many times I am almost indifferent at this point. It's expected.

Gigantic truth bomb here, and one of the better work-related pieces I've ever seen on Lifehacker.

Yess a million times this.. I hate when people act like they ARE the company they work for. It's like chill the fuck out, you're just their servant slave.

I have a shark I got at IKEA. I named him Sharky (I know, original). He's an embassy from the shark world, come to tell us about what it's like being a shark and my husband interviews him for TV. I voice him in this weird low monster voice, but he's a chill guy who likes fish and not people.

We started with one stuffed dog. Now there are three, plus a sloth, plus their caretakers: a longhorn during the day, and an owl at night (obvs). We're very invested in the boys' education and extracurriculars.
