I spent the summer filling virtually every hour of every day to capacity, and am now overwhelmed with delight to have finally fulfilled all my commitments and goals so I can actually start my summer vacation! I feel like I've been set free! I've been craving the taste of sweet liberty for months, and today is the first day I'm finally having it. It's sooooo delicious. I actually cried with happiness and relief, haha. My dad has been encouraging me to just "act like a teenager" while I still am one and slow down my pace, and that's exactly what I'm going to do!

When did summer start? ~ My last final exam for the spring quarter was on June 8. (I'm in college)

When does it end? ~ I return to campus on September 21.

Did you go on any vacations? ~ I've been up to our lake house and to various spots throughout California a few times, but I haven't gone on a proper vacation yet. I'd been excited about a family vacation to Greece in June, but I had viral meningitis then and couldn't travel so I stayed home with my dad while they went and had a beautiful time. I was supposed to be leaving this Thursday to volunteer in China for three weeks and then do a bit of traveling in Korea, but I've decided not to go this year. I really need a break. Instead my boyfriend and I are going to Florida to visit my grandpa for a few days, and then I'm going to just chillax for a while. I want to sleep till at least 8 every morning, make music, play tennis, paint, hang out with my friends and family, surf, finally decorate my room at my mom's house, and lark about practicing the art of doing nothing! I'm going on a trip with my two best friends over Labor Day weekend, and then my dad, stepmom, grandpa, boyfriend and I are going to Bariloche, Argentina for 8 days to ski. I'm excited about it, but staying in town and having the luxury to spend my days however I wish will be an even better vacation.

Did you have a job? ~ Yes. My primary job is working as a part-time consultant for my dad's business, and I had a few additional jobs this summer. I interned for a media production company in June and early July, had a research apprenticeship in the psychology department of a local university from June 21 to August 8, and taught at a dance intensive (like a day camp for dance but more rigorous) from August 8 until last night. I also gave guitar lessons to kids and painted a mural for someone.

What was your daily schedule like?
~ I had been waking up at 5:30 to accomplish personal tasks such as running with my dog, checking and responding to email, and swimming before officially starting my day. I was on campus from 8 to 1 either in class or working, and then headed home for lunch and a bit of downtime. I worked from 2 to 6:30 or thereabouts for my dad. I usually went to a dance class afterward, and then came home and had dinner and did homework. On the weekend I was teaching guitar lessons and doing choreography work. Last week I was at school in the morning wrapping up our research project, and then driving all the way over to the studio for the dance intensive and teaching from 1 to 9. I'd stumble home around 10 feeling obliterated by exhaustion.

Now I'm sleeping in, working until around noon for my dad, and then following my bliss in the afternoon and evening! I went to the beach today! I'm going to dinner with friends tonight! Yay!

Have you ever had to write an essay about how you spent your summer vacation like in the movies?
~ It was a tradition in elementary school. We'd write about how we spent our summer and then give a little presentation in front of the class, and we could bring in pictures and momentos. This one girl came in dressed in a kimono and brought mochi for the class. It's a sweet little Japanese confection that sort of has the texture of a marshmallow, and is so much fun to eat. It would be awesome if you could still do that in high school and college, haha.

Hi Rory,

I think summer vacation is very important to people all over the world. It gives them the chance for seeing new places, family gathering and have a good time and enjoys their selves. We use to travel in vacations. This year my family decided to spend our summer vacation in Cairo. I was very happy and I went to pack up my bags to be ready.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?
1 answer - Asked By: network7 - 11/6/2012
So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!

I am in the process of planning my own wedding and I am having a fantastic time doing so. I have always enjoyed planning things: group vacations for my friends and I, road trips, etc... I could be described as a slight control freak and I am a perfectionist. I know I would exceed, and enjoy my career, if I were to make this a possibility. How do I do it? How do I get my name out there? How much do event planners charge for their services?
