GETTING OUT OF COLLEGE DEBT

There are many college graduates out there who graduate with a big burden of debt and I have been one of them. When I finished my Bachelor’s degree I had so many plans and dreams like I would buy this that, I would go there do that and so on. I did not look for a job instead, I went for Master’s degree to add more debt into my life. From my experience what I suggest other is that after Bachelor’s degree do take a break, even if you don’t want just take a break for a year. If I would have taken that break, I would have done Masters degree in the different field. Anyway, I was so much in debt when I graduated and I did not get the job right away. After almost ten months of graduation, I finally landed on my first job, the job was great and worth the wait. During those ten months, I did some minimum wage jobs here and there as a part time because I was doing a full-time job hunting job which added more debt. I did not take a student loan, however, I maxed out all of my seven credit cards and was paying very high interest. 

MY DANDRUFF STORY AND HEALTHY LIVING

It’s been many years I have been in and out of the horror of dandruff. As a kid, I do not remember having dandruff or any kind of hair problem. In my mid teen, my hair used to get greasy, itchy and white particles like dandruff would appear after third-day hair. Back then my hair was very silky, thick, strong and no problems at all, now my hair is like straw because of hair colors, highlights, bleach, hair relax and all other chemicals I put into it. These days I am trying to grow my natural hair without using any sort of chemicals. My hair at the root is soft and silky, but I do have other problems like hair fall, dandruff etc.

FRIED RAMEN NOODLES RECIPE

You can eat ramen noodles in so many ways. I think each individual has their own way of eating any instant noodles. Sometimes I just microwave a pack of noodles about 5 minutes and eat it with sriracha or roasted garlic sauce. Sometimes I will add veggies, egg or cooked chicken/pork/shrimp, microwave it or cook it in the pot. Mostly I fry ramen noodles and it tastes so good. It is very easy to make and you can cook it in no time. You can cook your whole lunch or dinner in 15-30 minutes. It depends upon what kinds of meat or vegetables you are using.

RAISING ABOVE THE MYTHS OF RELATIONSHIP

Where ever you go in this world, there are so many myths about the relationship aspects. Regardless of country, continent, race, there are always gender stereotypes in the relationship. Men have their own perspective about the women and women have their own perspective about the men. There are a very small number of relationships which do not have to go through survival issues. Those kinds of relationships are so natural and out of drama. We all deserve the best of the best in everything and most of us know that, but why don't we end up getting the best things in our lives?

Most of us don't know what we want and those of us who know what we want doubt about almost everything or aren't ready to accept those good things. In this post, I will give you a few examples of the myths and how it is affecting people’s life. However, there are many myths widely found in our society. 

TIPS ON SELLING EVERYTHING BEFORE MOVING

I have been moving my whole life. When I was with my parents I moved because of their jobs; now because of my job. My parents used to rent a commercial truck, hire helpers or hire movers.

I have been living on my own for almost ten years now. I had so many ideas for my apartment /house, but I hardly bought anything more than I really needed.  I thought that would be a waste of money if I am not able to take them with me. I used to throw or give away my belongings. These days I buy whatever I like and sell them instead. When I started selling my belongings I hardly sold anything and hardly got the money I wanted.

HOW I HEALED MY PIERCINGS (NOSE, HELIX, & TRAGUS)

My first piercing was an ear lobe piercing, which I don't remember. When I was in high school, I added two more piercing on my upper lobe at the same time. They healed pretty much well. Before starting college, I did my nose piercing, which was good at first but it got worst later.During the sophomore year, I did my helix, very painful until it healed completely. When I started my professional job, I did my tragus. It was very painful from the moment when I sat on the artist chair.
