Hey. You. Yeah, you. Go order 4 at-home COVID-19 tests, free of charge, from the USPS. Literally takes like two minutes, if that. bit.ly/3fD23rc

Totally devastating.

There’s just so much wrong with the idea that students should have to work for free to prove their “grind.” I had six paid newspaper internships before I landed my first full time job. Working for free was never an option for me and it shouldn’t be expected of anyone.
I posted an opportunity for an unpaid internship and I’m amazed the comments I get. It’s not even for me. It’s for someone else and I would have jumped at it in college. I had 3 unpaid internships in school, double majored and had a job. SMH

I find this whole concept really frustrating. Defending the idea like it’s some kind of badge of honor completely ignores the barrier it places in front of people who can’t afford to work for nothing. We can do better. #PayYourInterns

I talked myself out of eating ice cream for lunch like a responsible adult but just now allowed myself to put French fries in the oven. It’s only Monday, people.

I've been doing grocery pickup since mid-March and it has only gotten easier. While I actually like (and miss) going into the store to shop, pre-planning has its perks too.
