The Annoyances of Driving for Lyft

Behind the Scenes
You open instagram and are bombarded with photos of beautiful young models walking for your favorite designer, posing on the cover of your favorite magazine, enjoying exotic island excursions and you can't help but to envy their lifestyles. With more and more brands being more inclusive with the models they use for their campaigns, following in the footsteps of these successful models seems only an arms reach away. Although this growing inclusiveness is a great step towards representing a broader range of people, the modeling industry is still extremely competitive and it isn't easy.

The Demonization of Self Publishing Needs to Stop
Sometimes I see something on Facebook and it makes me want to throat somebody. Maybe that's not the best way to start an essay, but it's true! So the other day I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a meme that made my blood boil. No, it wasn't one about Trump, though that is a good guess.

I have had a pencil, crayon, pen, or charred piece of wooden stick in my hand for as long as I can remember.
